Nickel hexacyanoferrate/graphene thin film: a candidate for the cathode in aqueous metal-ion batteries

Abstract

A thin film of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and nickel nanoparticles nanocomposite was used as precursor to synthesize a novel graphene/nickel hexacyanoferrate (rGO/NiHCFe) thin film nanocomposite through a heterogeneous electrochemical...

Chemical safety using functionalized carbon nanomaterials: neutralization and detection of organophosphorus compounds

“…Besides their notable intrinsic properties, the functionalities of graphene and CNTs may be enhanced through the mentioned chemical functionalization 98,99 or even by the association with other materials (i.e., composite materials). [100][101][102] A signicant number of papers and reviews have been describing the key points of functionalization methodologies that lead to materials used in the most varied propositions: sensing devices, electronics, drug delivery system, plasmonic, biosensing, improving their wetting or adhesion characteristics and their dispersion stability, among others. [103][104][105][106][107][108] Important works, such as from Poplawska 109 and Kim 105 et al described, respectively, organic reactions along with their mechanisms, and a broad analysis of functionalization routes and the resulting applications of the obtained materials.…”

Potassium energy storage behavior of nickel–zinc co-doped Prussian blue analogs formed by a chelating-agent-assisted route and its application in a K+-proton hybrid-ion aqueous alkaline battery

“…25 Among these materials, Prussian blue analogs (PBAs), which have a broad open framework structure and provide quick reversible electrochemical insertion/extraction, have drawn a lot of attention as prospective cathode materials. [26][27][28][29] The general formula of PBAs is A x MA y [MB(CN) 6 ] z ÁnH 2 O, where A is generally Li, Na or K, while MA and MB are usually transition metals, such as Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu or Zn. MA and MB are bonded to the N-and C-ends of the CN-anions, respectively.…”
