Waste biomass-based 3D graphene aerogels for high performance zinc-ion hybrid supercapacitors.

Biomass-based 3D graphene aerogels were explored as cathode materials for the fabrication of high-performance zinc-ion hybrid supercapacitors. These hybrid supercapacitors delivered a high specific capacitance of ∼353.1 F g at a current density of 0.

Nanocarbon-based sensors for the structural health monitoring of smart biocomposites.

Structural health monitoring (SHM) is a critical aspect of ensuring the safety and durability of smart biocomposite materials used as multifunctional materials. Smart biocomposites are composed of renewable or biodegradable materials and have emerged as eco-friendly alternatives of traditional non-biodegradable glass fiber-based composite materials. Although biocomposites exhibit fascinating properties and many desirable traits, real-time and early stage SHM is the most challenging issue to enable their long-term use.
