SiC Nanowire Sponges as Electropressure Sensors (2019)
Journal Article
Chen, Y., Ola, O., Chen, H., Wang, N., Xia, Y., & Zhu, Y. (2019). SiC Nanowire Sponges as Electropressure Sensors. ACS Applied Nano Materials, 2(12), 7540-7548. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsanm.9b01590

Lightweight, flexible, and highly porous ceramics are very attractive to engineering applications due to their good inertness, stability, and excellent mechanical properties. We here report such SiC nanowire (SiCNW) sponges and demonstrate their mult... Read More about SiC Nanowire Sponges as Electropressure Sensors.

Carbon nanotube reinforced nanocomposites for energy conversion and storage (2019)
Journal Article
Ola, O., Niu, Q., Chen, Y., Xia, Y., & Zhu, Y. (2019). Carbon nanotube reinforced nanocomposites for energy conversion and storage. Journal of Power Sources, 443, Article 227277. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpowsour.2019.227277

CNT-reinforced foams comprised of three-dimensional (3D) interconnected macropores with uniform mesoporous walls were developed as multifunctional nanocomposites and tested for electrochemical energy conversion and storage. Multi-walled CNTs grown on... Read More about Carbon nanotube reinforced nanocomposites for energy conversion and storage.

Ultralight three-dimensional, carbon-based nanocomposites for thermal energy storage (2019)
Journal Article
Ola, O., Chen, Y., Niu, Q., Xia, Y., Mallick, T., & Zhu, Y. (2020). Ultralight three-dimensional, carbon-based nanocomposites for thermal energy storage. Journal of Materials Science and Technology, 36, 70-78. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmst.2019.06.014

Polymer based nanocomposites consisting of elastic three-dimensional (3D) carbon foam (CF), paraffin wax and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) have been created and evaluated for thermal energy storage. The ultralight, highly porous (∼98.6% porosity), an... Read More about Ultralight three-dimensional, carbon-based nanocomposites for thermal energy storage.
