چکیده

Analogous to multiwalled carbon nanotubes, nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube cups (NCNCs) have been synthesized with defined volumetric parameters (diameter and segment lengths) by controlling the catalyst particle size and the concentration of nitrogen precursor utilized in the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reaction, allowing for tailored interior cavity space of cross-linked NCNCs, i.e. nanocapsules.

Synthesis and functionalization of nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube cups with gold nanoparticles as cork stoppers.

Nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes consist of many cup-shaped graphitic compartments termed as nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube cups (NCNCs). These as-synthesized graphitic nanocups from chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method were stacked in a head-to-tail fashion held only through noncovalent interactions. Individual NCNCs can be isolated out of their stacking structure through a series of chemical...

Theoretical Calculations of the Effect of Finite Length on the Structural Properties of Pristine and Nitrogen-doped Carbon Nanotubes

The effect of impurities on quantum chemical parameters of single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) was studied using density functional theory (DFT). The density of states (DOS), Fermi energy and thermodynamic energies of (5,5) carbon nanotubes were calculated in the presence of nitrogen impurity. It was found that this nanotube remains metallic after being doped with one nitrogen atom. The partial den...

Modifying functionalized-carbon-nanotube capacity to enhance water-vapor adsorption capacity from nitrogen gas

The primary objective of this paper is to enhance the water-vapor-adsorption capacity of multiwall-carbon-nanotube (MWCNT) from nitrogen gas by grafting sulfonic acid groups and doping palladium nanoparticles into the adsorbent. MWCNT has been selected to be modified because of having homogeneous adsorption energy compared to silica gel. As a result, it is capable of creating isotherm having sh...
