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 studies have demonstrated the significant potential of metal-organic frameworks in encapsulating nanoparticles to enhance graphene incorporation. This synergistic strategy offers unique opportunities for improving the properties of graphene-based composites. By precisely selecting both the MOF structure and the encapsulated nanoparticles, re

In this study, we describe a novel strategy for the synthesis and characterization of single-walled nanotubes (SWCNTs) covalently attached with iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4|Fe2O3|FeO). The synthesis process involves a two-step approach, first immobilizing SWCNTs onto a suitable substrate and then incorporating Fe3O4 nanoparticles via a coprecipi
