Scientist from Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology, Nagpur, National Institute for Material Sciences, Ibaraki, Japan and Institute for Plasma Research, Gujarat have developed a novel composite material composed of carbon nanotubes decorated with thin films of zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4) for practical applications like, energy storage.
Research reveals that graphene-enhanced batteries can slash electric vehicle charging times by up to 27% while cutting battery weight by more than half, potentially solving the biggest hurdles to green transportation.
