Low-dimensional carbon materials are of great interest and have tremendous potential for application in flexible plastic electronics. However, the development of devices based on carbon structural hybrids is often hindered due to the high recombination rate of photoexcited charges, low absorbance, and other factors. This work discusses the emergence of multi-component structural forms of carbon from single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and demonstrates the electrical nature of the film containing these heterogeneous low-dimensional structural derivatives that are amalgamated in a polyurethane matrix.

However, the current body of literature lacks a thorough grasp of the OHS (occupational health and safety) hazards related to the deconstruction process. The current work closes this scholarly gap by outlining the deconstruction process as phases and sets of activities and highlighting potential health and safety hazards throughout different activities and phases.

In this regard, research on developing a reliable cathode material for SIBs is burgeoning. Rhombohedral NaV(PO) (NVP), is a typical sodium super ionic conductor (NASICON) type material having prominent usage as a cathode material for SIBs.
