Graphene triggered catalytic attack on plastic waste produces graphitic shell encapsulation on cobalt nanoparticles for ferromagnetism and stable Li⁺ ion storage

Abstract

Plastic wastes produced graphitic carbon shell encapsulation on cobalt nanoparticles and the derived composite materials showed ferromagnetism and superior Li+ ion storage of 377 mA h g–1 (Co-GNP-ZipC) and 509 mA h g–1 (Co-GNP-FmC) at the 250th cycle.
