Facile synthesis of carbon nanotube-inorganic hybrid materials with improved photoactivity.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A facile method was used for the synthesis of CNTs@TiO2 nanocomposites using a simple apparatus at ambient pressure and temperature. CNTs@TiO2 exhibit core-shell structure without any interfacial adhesive layer on the CNT surface. The photodegradation of methyl orange suggests enhanced photoactivity of CNTs@TiO2 under UV light. The morphology, structure and composition of CNTs@TiO2 were also investigated.

Comparison of two methods of carbon nanotube synthesis: CVD and supercritical process (A review)
A carbon nanotube (CNT) is a miniature cylindrical carbon structure that has hexagonalgraphite molecules attached at the edges. Nanotubes look like a powder or black soot, but they'reactually rolled-up sheets of graphene that form hollow strands with walls that are only one atom thick.Carbon nanotube has been one of the most actively explored materials in recent year(s) due to...
متن کاملSynthesis and characterization of functionalized single - walled carbon nanotube/ chitosan/polyaniline nanocomposite
In this work the synthesis of polyaniline/chitosan/functionalized single- walled carbon nanotube nanocomposite is carried out. For this purpose single -walled carbon nanotubes were reacted with thionyl chloride to change the hydroxyl to acyl chloride groups for improving the react ability. In other step, aniline monomers and chitosan were polymerized in the presence of Iron (III) chloride to sy...

A facile, one-step synthesis of carbon nanotube (CNT)-loaded Ag/AgBr is reported. The as-prepared samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). T...
متن کاملNumerical Study of Furnace Temperature and Inlet Hydrocarbon Concentration Effect on Carbon Nanotube Growth Rate
Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) is one of the most important methods for producing Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs). In this research, a numerical model, based on finite volume method, is investigated. The applied method solves the conservation of mass, momentum, energy and species transport equations with aid of ideal gas law. Using this model, the growth rate and thickness uniformity of produced CNTs,...
