Miniscule Particles with Massive Potentials

摘要

Graphene continues to dominate the Hot Ten, but there is a paper, #6, which manages to combine graphene chemistry with another popular topic: nanochemistry. It comes from a group at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Washington, led by Jun Liu, working in collaboration with Ilhan Aksay of Princeton University. Paper #6 concerns titanium dioxide-graphene hybrid nanocrystals, which could benefit lithium-ion storage batteries.
