Fullerenes, Nanotubes and Carbon Nanostructures
We report on the fundamental electrochemical properties of inherently hydrophobic Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes MWNT electrodes and acid treated MWNTs. The electrochemical response of the electrodes was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and ac impedance spectroscopy using the redox probe of (Fe(CN)6 /Fe(CN)6 , which has well-known kinetic behaviour on carbon surfaces. Comparisons were made betw...
متن کاملFullerenes, Nanotubes and Carbon Nanostructures
A multi-scale investigation of nanostructured carbon films has been performed by means of inelastic light scattering (Raman and Brillouin scattering). Carbon films with different nanoand mesostructure have been deposited from supersonic cluster beams in a low energy deposition regime by exploiting aerodynamic focusing effects. Acoustic phonon propagation in the porous amorphous structure, where...
متن کاملFullerenes and Carbon Nanotubes Fullerene
A fullerene is any molecule composed entirely of carbon, in the form of a hollow sphere, ellipsoid, or tube. Spherical fullerenes are also called buckyballs, and they resemble the balls used in Association Football. Cylindrical ones are called carbon nanotubes or buckytubes. Fullerenes are similar in structure to graphite, which is composed of stacked graphene sheets of linked hexagonal rings; ...
متن کاملDiffusive growth of fullerenes and carbon nanotubes.
The video of a growing fullerene within a carbon nanotube, initiated by a tungsten catalyst, provides a dramatic realization of a complex nanoscale process. While there may be many detailed models which can account for this growth, we propose one of the simplest possible models which is consistent with the major observed features of the growth process. In particular, we assume that the fulleren...
متن کاملThermal contraction of carbon fullerenes and nanotubes.
We perform molecular dynamics simulations to study shape changes of carbon fullerenes and nanotubes with increasing temperature. At moderate temperatures, these systems gain structural and vibrational entropy by exploring the configurational space at little energy cost. We find that the soft phonon modes, which couple most strongly to the shape, maintain the surface area of these hollow nanostr...
