Two-dimensional nanosheets, with their distinct characteristics, are widely used in various applications such as water splitting, supercapacitors, catalysis etc. In this research, we produced Cu-BDC MOF nanosheets by using CuO nanotubes for metal ions and HBDC as the organic linker. We combined these Cu-BDC MOF nanosheets with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to form a nanocomposite.

Semiconductor-based photocatalyst materials played an important role in the degradation of organic compounds in recent years. Photocatalysis is a simple, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly process for degrading organic compounds. In this work, vanadium pentoxide (VO) and VO/RGO (reduced graphene oxide) composite were synthesized by a hydrothermal method.

Among energy storage devices, supercapacitors have received considerable attention in recent years owing to their high-power density and extended cycle life. Researchers are currently making efforts to improve energy density using different asymmetric cell configurations, which may provide a wider potential window. Many studies have been conducted on positive electrodes for asymmetric supercapacitor devices; however, studies on negative electrodes have been limited.
