Nanoestructuras de carbono unidimensionales: procesado sostenible en agua a través de nanocristales de celulosa

pp. 6-10

B. Vázquez-Conejo, C. Martínez-Barón, V. Calvo, E. García-Bordejé, A. Ansón-Casaos, J. M. González-Domínguez, W. K. Maser, A. M. Benito

Carbon nanostructures have attracted much attention in recent decades due to their extraordinary electrical and mechanical properties. These properties arise from the sp2 hybridisation of carbon, subsequently forming a wide range of materials. In particular, unidimensional carbon nanostructures may be mainly classified into carbon nanofibers ...

Bionanofabricación como principio sostenible de obtención de nanocelulosa bacteriana

pp. 11-14

L. Fuentes, V. Calvo, D. Berdejo, W.K. Maser, J. M. González-Domínguez, A. M. Benito

Bionanofabrication refers to the production of nanomaterials derived from living beings. Within this strategy, bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) finds its place, which is produced by specific bacteria directly in the nanoscale ...

Improvement of the electrocatalytic activity of carbon electrodes for redox flow batteries

pp. 15-17

Laura del Carmen García Alcalde

The development of energy storage devices with higher energy efficiency is necessary to achieve a sustainable energy system based in renewable energy sources. Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFB) stand out among the variety of energy solutions for stationary storage, nevertheless, one of the main limiting factors of the performance of these devices are the electrodes, which need to be optimized ...
