High-yield bamboo-shaped carbon nanotubes from cresol for electrochemical application.
نویسندگان
چکیده
High-yield bamboo-shaped carbon nanotubes (BCNTs) have been produced by using cresol as the precursor, for the first time and there are almost no straight CNTs or amorphous carbon found in the product: the role of cresol in promoting the growth of BCNTs is discussed; improved cycle stability and electric conductivity of the BCNTs as an anode additive in a lithium ion battery are achieved.

The Preparation of Bamboo-Structured Carbon Nanotubes with the Controlled Porosity by CVD of Acetylene on Co-Mo/MCM-41
Bamboo-structured carbon nanotubes are grown on Co-Mo/MCM-41 catalyst in the temperature range of 873-973 K by thermal chemical vapor deposition of acetylene. This study shows that the purified carbon nanotubes have open tips and the metals of the catalyst are not encapsulated. Thus, the bamboo-structure seems to grow from the base. Pore size distribution of the product is quite narrow and ...
متن کاملCopper nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes-based electrochemical sensing system for fast identification of tricresyl-phosphate in aqueous samples and air
An electrochemical method has been developed for the determination of tricresyl phosphate (TCP) in aqueous media and air. Although TCP is not an electroactive species, conversion of TCP by acid hydrolysis to cresol enables electrochemical detection techniques to be exploited. Amperometric detection was performed using glassy carbon electrode (GC), glassy carbon electrode covered with multiwall ...
