Are metal-free pristine carbon nanotubes electrocatalytically active?
Metal-free (i.e., residual metallic impurities-blocked) carbon nanotubes (CNTs) do show electrocatalytic activity for H2 evolution, O2 evolution and O2 reduction reactions (HER, OER & ORR) in alkaline solutions, but their activities strongly depend on the number of walls or inner tubes with a maximum for CNTs with 2-3 walls.
متن کاملIn vivo Toxicity Studies of Pristine Carbon Nanotubes: A Review
Discovered in 1991(Iijima, 1991), carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted considerable attention in many fields of science and technology because of their unique structural, mechanical, and electronic properties. Their potential seemed paramount in the fields of materials science, including conductive and high-strength composites, energy storage and energy conversion devices, sensors, field emis...
متن کاملMinimal Inflammogenicity of Pristine Single-wall Carbon Nanotubes
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are a novel synthetic material comprising only carbon atoms. Based on its rigidity, its electrical and heat conductivity and its applicability to surface manufacturing, this material is expected to have numerous applications in industry. However, due to the material's dimensional similarity to asbestos fibers, its carcinogenicity was hypothesized during the last decade, ...
متن کاملCarbon-enhanced metal-poor stars: the most pristine objects?
Context. Carbon-enhanced metal poor stars (CEMP) form a significant proportion of the metal-poor stars, their origin is not well understood, and this carbon-enhancement appears in stars that exhibit different abundance patterns. Aims. Three very metal-poor C-rich turnoff stars were selected from the SDSS survey, observed with the ESO VLT (UVES) to precisely determine the element abundances. In ...
متن کاملMetal-enhanced fluorescence of carbon nanotubes.
The photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) is relatively low, with various quenching effects by metallic species reported in the literature. Here, we report the first case of metal enhanced fluorescence (MEF) of surfactant-coated carbon nanotubes on nanostructured gold substrates. The photoluminescence quantum yield of SWNTs is observed to be enhanced mor...
