The effects of capping agents on the synthesis of magnetic-luminescent Fe₃O₄ -InP/ZnSe nanocomposite material
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
Magnetic luminescent nanoparticles of an iron oxide (Fe₃O₄) superparamagnetic core and an indium phosphide/zinc selenide (InP/ZnSe) quantum dot shell are reported. The magnetic nanoparticles (MNP’s) and quantum dots (QD’s) ...
Scalable synthesis of innovative silicon/carbon nanocomposite for next generation lithium-ion battery anodes
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
Silicon is the most promising lithium-ion battery (LIB) anode due to its ultra-high capacity
(4200 mAh/g), which is 10 times greater than commercially available graphite anodes (372
mAh/g). Utilizing this large capacity ...
