Synthesis and transformation of linear adamantane assemblies inside carbon nanotubes.

Fabrication and Integration of Horizontally Aligned Carbon Nanotube–c60 Films for Uv Sensors

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are promising for microsystems applications, yet few techniques effectively enable integration of CNTs with precise control of placement and alignment of the CNTs at sufficiently high densities necessary for compelling mechanical or electrical performance. This paper explores new methods for scalable integration of dense, horizontally aligned (HA) CNTs with patterned ele...

Evidence of diamond nanowires formed inside carbon nanotubes from diamantane dicarboxylic acid.

Deactivation Behavior of Carbon Nanotubes Supported Cobalt Catalysts in Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis

The effects of electronic properties of inner and outer surfaces of Carbon Nano Tubes (CNTs) on the deactivation of cobalt Fischer-Tropsch (FT) catalysts were studied. The comparative characterization of the fresh and used catalysts by TEM, XRD, TPR, BET and H2 chemisorption showed that cobalt re-oxidation, cobalt-support interactions and sintering are the main sources o...

Radius Dependence of Hydrogen Storage Inside Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes in an Array

In this study, we have investigated radius dependence of hydrogen storage within armchair (n,n) single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) in a square arrays. To this aim, we have employed equilibrium molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Our simulations results reveal that radius of carbon nanotubes are an important and influent factor in hydrogen distribution inside carbon nanotubes and consequentl...

Molybdenum Loading Effects on the Physico-Chemical Properties and Performance of Carbon Nanotubes Supported Alkalized MoS2 Catalysts for Higher Alcohols Synthesis

An extensive study of Higher Alcohols Synthesis (HAS) from syngas using alkalized MoS2 catalysts supported on Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) is reported. Up to 30wt.% of Mo and 8wt.% K are added to the CNTs by impregnation method. The catalysts were characterized by different methods and the performance of the catalysts was assessed in a micro-reactor. TEM images showed that mo...
