Graphene triggered catalytic attack on plastic waste produces graphitic shell encapsulation on cobalt nanoparticles for ferromagnetism and stable Li + ion storage
Open accessAbstract
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 250 th cycle.

Waste plastic-derived Co-GNP-ZipC and Co-GNP-FmC retained reversible capacities of 377 and 509 mAh/g (coulombic efficiency ~101%) at the 250th cycle, far superior to pristine Co-GNP (<1 mAh/g).

The graphitic shell effectively isolates the cobalt core from the electrolyte, suppressing side reactions and mitigating volume strain, thereby significantly enhancing lithium storage stability.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
