TESTAMENTO OTORGADO POR EL SEÑOR

Two distinct methods for the formation of vanadate based NPPs have been developed. These synthetic approaches are simple and versatile so that by optimizing reaction parameters a variety of NPs could easily be encapsulated inside vanadate NScs. These novel NPPs can open captivating possibilities for the physical and chemical exploration of advanced nanocomposites and hold great potential for future technologies such as those involving sensors, catalysts, and lithium ion batteries. Furthermore, the formation of peapods with layered vanadates suggests that these fabrication methods could be readily extended to a range of other layered hosts where peapod composites made with materials like layered perovskites, metal dichalcogenides, hexagonal boron nitride, or graphene might be readily obtained.
