Flexible, Stretchable, and Rechargeable Fiber-Shaped Zinc-Air Battery Based on Cross-Stacked Carbon Nanotube Sheets.
The fabrication of flexible, stretchable and rechargeable devices with a high energy density is critical for next-generation electronics. Herein, fiber-shaped Zn-air batteries, are realized for the first time by designing aligned, cross-stacked and porous carbon nanotube sheets simultaneously that behave as a gas diffusion layer, a catalyst layer, and a current collector. The combined remarkabl...
متن کاملHighly efficient vertical growth of wall-number-selected, N-doped carbon nanotube arrays.
We demonstrate a straightforward approach for rapid growth of wall-number selected, N-doped CNT arrays. Highly uniform nanopatterned iron catalyst arrays were prepared by tilted deposition through block copolymer nanotemplates. PECVD growth of CNTs from the nanopatterned catalysts in an NH(3) environment generated vertical N-doped CNTs with a fine-tunability of their carbon wall numbers. The op...
متن کاملPseudocapacitive Effects of N-Doped Carbon Nanotube Electrodes in Supercapacitors
Nitrogenand micropore-containing carbon nanotubes (NMCNTs) were prepared by carbonization of nitrogen-enriched, polymer-coated carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and the electrochemical performances of the NMCNTs with different heteroatom contents were investigated. NMCNTs-700 containing 9.1 wt% nitrogen atoms had a capacitance of 190.8 F/g, which was much higher than that of pristine CNTs (48.4 F/g), de...
متن کاملCarbon nanotube/Co3O4 composite for air electrode of lithium-air battery
A carbon nanotube [CNT]/Co3O4 composite is introduced as a catalyst for the air electrode of lithium-air [Li/air] batteries. Co3O4 nanoparticles are successfully attached to the sidewall of the CNT by a hydrothermal method. A high discharge capacity and a low overvoltage indicate that the CNT/Co3O4 composite is a very promising catalyst for the air electrode of Li/air batteries.
متن کاملThe Mechanism of Catalytic Cutting of Graphene and Carbon Nanotube
Synthesizing graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with smooth edges and controllable widths is aprerequisite for many graphene applications.[1] By employing ab initio calculations, we proposed twoefficient methods of making narrow GNRs: i) Using a single transition metal atom as the chemicalscissor to unzip single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) into GNR in H2 gas;[2] ii) applying an...
