Nanotube-derived carbon foam for hydrogen sorption.
A new kind of carbon foam, which is based on the welding of single-walled carbon nanotubes, is built in a computer simulation. Its precisely defined architecture and all atomic positions allow one to perform detailed theoretical analysis of the properties. Such foam is as light as 19 of steel, while its stiffness is similar and nearly isotropic, and it represents a strong three-dimensional mate...
متن کاملCarbon nanomaterials as catalysts for hydrogen uptake and release in NaAlH4.
A synergistic approach involving experiment and first-principles theory not only shows that carbon nanostructures can be used as catalysts for hydrogen uptake and release in complex metal hydrides such as sodium alanate, NaAlH(4), but also provides an unambiguous understanding of how the catalysts work. Here we show that the stability of NaAlH(4) originates with the charge transfer from Na to t...
متن کاملCarbon nanotube-mediated wireless cell permeabilization: drug and gene uptake.
AIM This work aims to exploit the 'antenna' properties of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). They can be used to induce cell permeabilization in order to transfer drugs (normally impermeable to cell membranes) both in in vitro and in vivo models. MATERIAL & METHODS The performance of the MWCNTs as receiver antenna was modeled by finite element modeling. Once the appropriate field has been...
متن کاملEffect of hydrogen on catalyst nanoparticles in carbon nanotube growth
The structures of carbon nanotubes grown from catalytic nanoparticles via plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition in CH4 /H2 mixtures show a strong dependence on the H2-to-CH4 ratio in the feed gas. A suite of characterization techniques, including optical emission, infrared, and Raman spectroscopies combined with convergent-beam and selected-area electron diffraction, and high-resolution sca...
متن کاملActivity, stability and degradation of multi walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) supported Pt fuel cell electrocatalysts.
Understanding and improving durability of fuel cell catalysts are currently one of the major goals in fuel cell research. Here, we present a comparative stability study of multi walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) and conventional carbon supported platinum nanoparticle electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The aim of this study was to obtain insight into the mechanisms controllin...
