Multiwall boron carbonitride/carbon nanotube junction and its rectification behavior.

In recent years, the ternary boron carbonitride (BCN) nanotubes have attracted increasing interests because of their unique electronic properties and potential technological applications. A prime advantage of the BCN nanotubes over their carbon counterparts is the relative simplicity in manipulating the electronic structures. Theoretical calculations have predicted that the band gap of BCN nano...

Interpenetrating multiwall carbon nanotube electrodes for organic solar cells

Low concentrations of multiwall carbon nanotubes MWCNTs 1 wt % uniformly distributed within the donor layer of a heterojunction organic solar cell are shown to be an effective means of greatly reducing cell series resistance without compromising cell shunt resistance, resulting in an increase in cell fill factor of 50–60%. By chemically functionalizing MWCNTs with polar surface moieties, it is ...

Multiwall Carbon Nanotube Reinforcement of Polyacrylonitrile Fibers

Aligning multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) with the direction of load is desirable for maximizing tensile reinforcement in composites. This has been accomplished by spinning composite fibers containing MWNTs[1]. The shear and elongational flow fields inherent to fiber processing cause the MWNTs to align with the fiber axis. Efficient stress transfer from the matrix to the MWNTs is also a cruci...
