Lithium-ion batteries lead the market for portable electronics due to their high energy density, long cycle life, and relatively low self-discharge rate. Nevertheless, the demand for lithium-ion batteries in emerging applications such as electric vehicles and grid storage has placed increased pressure on the supply chain of vital battery materials.

Recent investigations have demonstrated the significant potential of MOFs in encapsulating quantum dots to enhance graphene incorporation. This synergistic combination offers novel opportunities for improving the properties of graphene-based devices. By strategically selecting both the MOF structure and the encapsulated nanoparticles, researchers c

In this study, we outline a novel strategy for the synthesis and characterization of single-walled nanotubes (SWCNTs) functionalized with iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4|Fe2O3|FeO). The preparation process involves a two-step approach, first bonding SWCNTs onto a suitable substrate and then introducing Fe3O4 nanoparticles via a hydrothermal method.
