- Additional information
- First output of a successful ongoing collaboration with the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) in Japan. Novel nanomaterials based on carbon with different atomic structures and orientations, and combinations with cobalt and metal oxide were developed. We built new hierarchical structures from the nanoscale and have created unique nano-reinforcements with a controlled shape and structure that be added to different kind of polymer-matrix. Novel shapes that do not exist in nature (e.g. longitudinal hierarchy nano/ mesocrystals with high-dense exposure facets and anisotropic interfaces) was developed. These materials are implemented in energy storage applications like electrodes for fuel cells.
