Nanostructured Catalytic Hybrid Materials for Energy Conversion or Storage

Abstract

PI has demonstrated successful encapsulation of aluminum and oleic acid-capped aluminum (AlOA) nanoparticles into polymer and carbon nanofibers via electrospinning. Control was demonstrated over the dispersion of the nanoparticles in the matrix nanofibers: AOT and DTAB surfactants were found to be effective to make the uniform dispersion of the nanoparticles in the nanofibers. Representative AlOA nanoparticles was dispersed in nanofibers without using surfactants. PI is working on publications.
