Recent research has highlighted the potential of 2D materials as a means of forming vertical heterostructures that are held together by van der Waals forces - attraction and repulsions between molecules, atoms, and surfaces.
A novel study in the journal ACS Applied Energy Materials is focused on the fabrication of a system that enables recovery of Lithium ions via a special electrochemical cell termed as Hybrid Capacitive Deionization Cell (HCDC).
Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) are among the most widely used energy storage technologies available in the market. In a variety of fields, such as electronics products, machine tools, hospital equipment, and electric vehicles, their ability to offer high power and energy density in conjunction with a long life cycle, little memory effect, and acceptable cost provides an unrivaled advantage (EVs).
3D aerogels assembled from 2D MXenes have recently become a research focus due to their properties, performance, and ease of fabrication. A paper published in Advanced Materials has explored the creation of 3D printed MXene aerogels with enhanced electrochemical and electrical performance.
Nanocelluloses have recently been the subject of research due to their promising use as materials for wastewater treatment.
Chirality is a universal phenomenon in nature. Take the conches below for example: each conch is the mirrored image of the other, but the two conches shall never overlap, introducing a case of chirality.
Recently, research published in the journal Organic Chemistry has presented a method for the prevention of metabolic adaptation in cancer cells using supramolecular nanostructures, namely platinum nanofibers.
Borophene may be done tantalizing materials scientists and start serving their ambitions, if a new approach by Rice University researchers can be turned into practice.
Quantum entanglement is a fascinating physical phenomenon that sees two particles share what can be understood as a type of connection or communication, whereby any actions performed on one particle will also affect the other(s), irrespective of their distance apart.
As the global manufacturing of electric vehicles accelerates, one unavoidable result will be an increase in the number of retired lithium-ion batteries, which, with exception of traditional lead-acid car batteries, are hard to decompose of.
