Negatively curved spongy carbon
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the production and characterization of a form of nanostructured carbon consisting of fully connected, three-dimensional ~3D! sp networks. This form of carbon is characterized by interconnected thin layers forming a spongy structure with mesoand macroporosity. It is produced by a pulsed microplasma cluster source in the presence of a very low concentration of metallorganic catalyst. The unique 3D structure and topology of the spongy carbon are very interesting for catalysis and electrochemical applications and for the investigation of negatively curved forms of carbon such as schwarzites. © 2002 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1516635#

Freestanding carbon-coated CNT/Sn(O2) coaxial sponges with enhanced lithium-ion storage capability.
Carbon-coated, carbon nanotube (CNT)/tin(oxide) spongy coaxial nanostructures, CNT/Sn(O(2))@C, with large areal mass loadings have been developed by employing a three-dimensional CNT sponge as a backbone. The freestanding spongy coaxial nano-architecture demonstrates exceptional electrochemical characteristics of tin-based anode materials with appropriate structural engineering for energy stora...
متن کاملA spongy nickel-organic CO2 reduction photocatalyst for nearly 100% selective CO production
Solar-driven photocatalytic conversion of CO2 into fuels has attracted a lot of interest; however, developing active catalysts that can selectively convert CO2 to fuels with desirable reaction products remains a grand challenge. For instance, complete suppression of the competing H2 evolution during photocatalytic CO2-to-CO conversion has not been achieved before. We design and synthesize a spo...
متن کاملAnalysis of Nonlinear Vibrations of Slightly Curved Tripled-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Resting on Elastic Foundations in a Magneto-Thermal Environment
In this work, nonlocal elasticity theory is applied to analyze nonlinear free vibrations of slightly curved multi-walled carbon nanotubes resting on nonlinear Winkler and Pasternak foundations in a thermal and magnetic environment. With the aid of Galerkin decomposition method, the systems of nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into systems of nonlinear ordinary differentia...
متن کاملNegatively Curved Groups and the Convergence Property Ii: Transitivity in Negatively Curved Groups
Let G be a negatively curved group. This paper continues the classiication of limit points of G that began in part I. A probability measure is constructed on the space at innnity and with respect to this measure almost every point at innnity is shown to be line transitive.
متن کاملNegatively Curved Groups
The notion of a negatively curved group is at first highly non-intuitive because it links two areas of mathematics that are not usually associated with one another. Curvature is generally a property that we associate with geometric objects like curves or surfaces in R, while a group is an algebraic structure that we associate with objects like integers or matrices. However, there is a way to de...
