Ultra-thin flexible paper of BNNT–CNF/ZnO ternary nanostructure for enhanced solid-state supercapacitor and piezoelectric response

Abstract

Nanosized ZnO particles have been synthesized on cellulose nanofiber and boron nitride nanotube surfaces via a hydrothermal route to give a ternary nanostructure and explored flexible papers for the electrochemical and piezoelectric performance.

Tunning the Zeolitic Imidazole Framework (ZIF8) through the Wet Chemical Route for the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

“…The specific surface area with related physical parameters was assessed using BET analysis. The N 2 adsorption–desorption isotherms of the as-synthesized ZIF8 nanocrystals (ZIF8-1, ZIF8-2, and ZIF8-3,) showed type IV hysteresis [ 43 , 44 ], indicating the mesoporous nature of the materials according to the IUPAC classifications; the results are illustrated in Figure 5 a. The cumulative pore volume and pore size distributions were analyzed from the Barrett–Joyner–Halenda (BJH) profiles ( Figure 5 b).…”

Sustainability applications of rare earths from metallurgy, magnetism, catalysis, luminescence to future electrochemical pseudocapacitance energy storage

“…In a study, Singhal et However, due to the low power density and poor cycle stability of lithium-ion batteries, they will not be able to meet the demand for higher energy consumption, faster power transfer, and higher stability during cycling in the future. 180 Supercapacitors compensate for this deciency and are being intensively explored. 181 Supercapacitors are divided into electric double-layer capacitors and pseudocapacitors according to their mechanism.…”
