Download or read book Synthesis and Characterization of Carbon Nanotube Supported Platinum and Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles written by Qianqian Liu and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Platinum (Pt) supported on single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) is one of the most efficient catalysts for methanol electroxidation. However, there is lack of a facile and environmental method to synthesize Pt nanoparticles on SWCNT. In the first section, I investigated a novel method to synthesize Pt nanoparticles on SWCNT using DNA molecules as dispersing agent for nanotube uniformly suspended in aqueous solutions and templates for the synthesis of Pt nanoparticles. The morphology of DNA molecules and Pt nanoparticles and their distributions along SWCNT were studied with the use of a number of electron microscopy and microanalysis techniques; electrocatalytic activities of Pt nanoparticles for methanol oxidations were characterized using cyclic voltammetry and A.C. impedance spectroscopy; and interactions among SWCNT, DNA molecules, and Pt nanoparticles were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy. As a result, I found DNA molecules affect the synthesis of Pt nanoparticles around SWCNT and electrocatalytic activity of Pt nanoparticles supported on SWCNT for methanol oxidations. In the second section, I investigated two approaches for synthesizing carbon nanotube (CNT) coated with TiO2 nanoparticles for solar cell applications. One method used titanium sulfate (Ti (SO4)2) as a reaction precursor, and a second method employed titanium isopropoxide (Ti (OCH (CH3)2)4) as a reaction precursor. My experimental results indicate that without surface functionalization of CNT, nanotube coated with sensitizing TiO2 nanoparticles could be obtained through the selection of desirable precursors and reaction parameters-using Ti (OCH (CH3)2)4 as a reaction precursor.
Download or read book Perspective of Carbon Nanotubes written by Hosam El-Din Saleh and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2019-12-11 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carbon nanotubes belong to new nanomaterials and have been known for almost 20 years, but their history is somewhat lengthier. They have been identified as promising candidates for various applications.High-temperature preparation techniques are conventional techniques for the synthesis of carbon nanotubes using arc discharge or laser ablation, but today these methods are being replaced by low-temperature vapor deposition techniques, since orientation, alignment, nanotube length, diameter, purity, and density of carbon nanotubes can be precisely controlled. The synthesis of carbon nanotubes by chemical vapor deposition on catalyst arrays leads to nanotube models grown from specific sites on surfaces. The controlled synthesis of nanotubes opens up interesting possibilities in nanoscience and nanotechnologies, including electrical, mechanical and electromechanical properties and devices, chemical functionalization, surface chemistry and photochemistry, molecular sensors, and interfacing with moderate biological systems.Carbon nanotubes are used in many applications due to their unique electrical, mechanical, optical, thermal, and other properties. Conductive and high-strength composite materials, energy saving and energy conversion devices, sensors, visualization of field emissions and sources of radiation, means for storing hydrogen, and nanoscale semiconductor devices, probes, and interconnections are some of the many applications of carbon nanotubes.

Download or read book Nanotube Superfiber Materials written by Rachit Malik and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-09-16 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Individual carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have exceptional mechanical and electrical properties. However, the transfer of these extraordinary qualities into CNT products, without compromising performance, remains a challenge. This chapter presents an overview of the manufacturing of CNT sheets and buckypaper and also describes research performed at the University of Cincinnati in this field. CNT arrays were grown using the chemical vapor deposition method. Sheets were drawn from the spinnable CNT arrays and characterized using scanning electron microscopy to show the highly unidirectional alignment of the nanotubes in the sheet. The anisotropic morphology of the sheet provides superior properties along one material axis as observed by measuring the tensile strength, electrical resistivity, optical transmittance, and electromagnetic interference shielding properties of the material. Surface modification of aligned multiwall nanotube sheets was carried out via incorporation of an atmospheric pressure plasma jet in the sheet posttreatment process. Helium/oxygen plasma was utilized to produce carboxyl (–COO−) functionality on the surface of the nanotubes. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed the presence of the functional groups on the nanotube surface. The sheet was further characterized using Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and contact angle testing. Composite laminates made from functionalized CNT sheets showed higher strength than those made with pristine sheets. The effects of plasma power and oxygen concentration were studied in order to determine the best possible parameters for functionalization. Plasma treatment is a useful tool for fast, clean and dry functionalization of CNTs. This study demonstrates the ease of incorporating the plasma tool in the manufacturing process of sheets leading to the production of CNT/polymer composites. Macroscopic structures of nanotubes such as threads and sheets are leading to novel applications.
