Humanity's dependence on batteries for cellular phones, laptops, electric vehicles, and grid storage is fueling a demand for better battery technology.
In a paper published in the ACS Applied Energy Materials journal, researchers produced novel Au/K4-xHxNb6O17 nanocomposites by a single-step preparation in an aqueous medium surrounded by Au poly(ethyleneimine) (Au-PEI). The Au-PEI nanoparticles were immobilized by exploiting the intercalation chemistry of K4-xHxNb6O17 nanosheets. The nanocomposites prepared were successfully applied in photoinduced H2 evolution.
Wearable technology has exploded in recent years. Spurred by advances in flexible sensors, transistors, energy storage, and harvesting devices, wearables encompass miniaturized electronic devices worn directly on the human skin for sensing a range of biophysical and biochemical signals or, as with smart watches, for providing convenient human-machine interfaces.
The migration of carbon atoms on the surface of the nanomaterial graphene was recently measured for the first time. Although the atoms move too swiftly to be directly observed with an electron microscope, their effect on the stability of the material can now be determined indirectly while the material is heated on a microscopic hot plate. The study by researchers at the Faculty of Physics of the University of Vienna was published in the journal Carbon.
In a review recently published in the open-access journal Polymers, researchers presented a holistic view of advanced polymeric nanocomposites for applications in water treatment.
New research demonstrates the feasibility of using graphene to control hydrogen isotopes, specifically tritium.
A new paper in Nanomaterials has demonstrated the development of novel 3D-printed polymer composites incorporating fillers such as graphene using a solvent-free process.
Scientists have collaborated on a new paper in the Journal of Molecular Liquids on the influence of graphene nanoparticles on oil viscosity.
In a review recently published in the European Polymer Journal, researchers discussed the utility of metal- and carbon-based nanostructures in injectable conductive nanocomposite hydrogels for cardiac tissue engineering (CTE).
A team of researchers recently published a paper in the MDPI journal Materials that reviewed the synthesis of nanostructured carbon (NC) from renewable resources, specifically from agricultural waste materials.
