Phenols and the chlorinated and alkylated derivatives are classified as priority pollutants due to the health risk associated with their toxicity. Due to their constant presence in industrial waste and consequently their carcinogenic risk for [...]

MWCNTs/metal oxide nanocomposite as potential material for supercapacitors application in acidic and neutral media

Adekunle A.S., Ozoemena K.I., Agboola B.O., Ebenso E.E., North-West University, ZA

Carbon based supercapacitor electrodes have been attractive due to their high surface area and porous nature. Studies have shown that the carbon nanotube-metal oxide (CNT-MO) nanocomposite modified electrodes exhibited huge capacitive current in some electrolytes. [...]
