Acrylonitrile copolymer/graphene skinned cathode for long cycle life rechargeable hybrid aqueous batteries at high-temperature
(Elsevier, 2018-04-01)For aqueous rechargeable lithium battery (ARLB), excellent cycling stability at elevated temperature is highly desirable in its application of electric vehicles (EVs). However, most state-of-art ARLBs show poor durability ... -
Correlation between mechanical dissipation and improved X-band electromagnetic shielding capabilities of amine functionalized graphene/thermoplastic polyurethane composites
(Elsevier, 2017-08-24)Graphene-based polymer nanocomposites have demonstrated significant promise to create commercially viable electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding to protect the next-generation of electronic materials from radiative ... -
The effects of dielectric decrement and finite ion size on differential capacitance of electrolytically gated graphene
(Elsevier, 2018-06-01)We analyze the effects of dielectric decrement and finite ion size in an aqueous electrolyte on the capacitance of a graphene electrode, and make comparisons with the effects of dielectric saturation combined with finite ... -
Effects of graphene nano-platelets (GNPs) on the microstructural characteristics and textural development of an Al-Mg alloy during friction-stir processing
(Elsevier, 2018-02-15)The aim of this research is to characterize the unique microstructural features of Al-matrix nanocomposites reinforced by graphene nano-platelets (GNPs), fabricated by multi-pass friction-stir processing (FSP). During this ... -
Fluorescent sensors using DNA-functionalized graphene oxide
(Springer, 2014-07-02)In the past few years, graphene oxide (GO) has emerged as a unique platform for developing DNA-based biosensors, given the DNA adsorption and fluorescence-quenching properties of GO. Adsorbed DNA probes can be desorbed ... -
Improved performance of the rechargeable hybrid aqueous battery at near full state-of-charge
(Elsevier, 2018-05-01)For the first time, a green lignin/silica nanocomposite (LSC) is introduced to the rechargeable hybrid aqueous Zn/LiMn2O4 battery (ReHAB) as additive in the cathode formulation. Lignin acts as a key role to regulate and ...
