Published: April 2019

We report field emission (FE) properties of three dimensional single-walled carbon nanotube (3-D SWNT) networks synthesized between ZnO nanorods on textured Si wafer. The FE properties are measured for turn-on field and field enhancement factor, and are compared with other types of SWNT films such as synthesized SWNT films and spray SWNT films. 3-D SWNT has lower turn-on field and higher field enhancement factor than other SWNT films.

Sustainable energy societies demand rechargeable batteries using ubiquitous-material electrodes of geopolitical-risk-free elements. We aim to develop low-overpotential oxygen-evolution-reaction (OER) catalysts that suppress carbon corrosion of gas-diffusion electrodes (GDEs) to realize two-electrode rechargeable Zn-air batteries (r-ZABs). Herein, single-walled-carbon-nanotube (SWNT) thin films are used as a scaffold for a benchmark OER catalyst, doping-free NiFe-layered double hydroxide (NiFeLDHs), operating in r-ZABs using alkali aqueous electrolytes.

Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) films, with exciting electronic properties are increasingly important for next-generation technologies. Here, an Iron-assisted floating solid catalyst chemical vapor deposition (IA-FSCCVD) method is developed for the controlled growth of high-quality and high-purity SWNT films. Titanium carbide nanoparticles with a high melting point are used as the solid catalysts, which provide a stable template for SWNT growth through the perpendicular growth mode.

Large-area flexible transparent conductive films (TCFs) are highly desired for future electronic devices. Nanocarbon TCFs are one of the most promising candidates, but some of their properties are mutually restricted. Here, a novel carbon nanotube network reorganization (CNNR) strategy, that is, the facet-driven CNNR (FD-CNNR) technique, is presented to overcome this intractable contradiction.

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are promising materials for generating high-performance electronic devices. However, these applications are greatly restricted by their lack of purity and solubility. Commercially available SWNTs are a mixture of semi-conducting (sc-) and metallic (m-) SWNTs and are insoluble in common solvents.

This study investigates the structural intricacies and properties of single-walled nanotubes (SWNT) and double-walled nanotubes (DWNT) composed of hexagonal boron nitride (BN) and carbon (C). Doping with various atoms including light elements (B, N, O) and heavy metals (Fe, Co, Cu) is taken into account. The optimized configurations of SWNT and DWNT, along with dopant positions, are explored, with a focus on DWNT-BN-C.
