in this study, incorporation of iron ion-doped natrolite nanozeolite, multi-wall carbon nanotubes into chitosan-coated glassy carbon electrode for the simultaneous determination of ascorbic acid, epinephrine, uric acid and tyrosine is studied. the results show that the combination of multi-wall carbon nanotubes and iron ion-doped natrolite zeolite causes a dramatic enhancement in the sensitivit...

We describe the nanofabrication study of self-aligned electrodes on suspended multiwalled carbon nanotube structures. When metal is deposited on a suspended multiwalled carbon nanotube structure, the nanotube acts as an evaporation mask, resulting in the formation of discontinuous electrodes. The metal deposits on the nanotubes are removed with lift-off. Using Al sacrificial layers, it was poss...

We have measured the temperature-dependent thermal conductivity T of boron-carbon-nitride B-C-N and boron nitride BN nanotube mats. The thermal conductivity of B-C-N nanotubes is phonon dominated and reflects dimensional effect below 70 K. We employ a new analysis method to estimate the intrinsic T of BN nanotubes converted from B-C-N nanotubes, and find that at room temperature T of a multiwal...

Cobalt oxide (Co3O4) was homogeneously coated on multiwalled carbon nanotube through a simple chemical deposition method and employed in supercapacitor electrodes. SEM image indicated the uniform distribution of Co3O4 nanoparticles on the surface of the multiwalled carbon nanotube. A maximum specific capacitance of 273 Fg(-1) was obtained at the charge-discharge current density of 0.5 Ag(-1). A...

For diagnostic and therapeutic purposes an accurate determination of multiple metabolites is often required. Amperometric devices are attractive tools to quantify biological compounds due to the direct conversion of a biochemical event to a current. This review addresses recent developments in the use of multiwalled carbon nanotubes to enhance detection capability of amperometric array-based bi...

It has been found that multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CS-CNT) can be produced in mass level, simply by pyrolysing mustard oil which was then derivatized with carboxylic acid (CS-CNT (acid)) and ammonia (CS-CNT (base)). A low cost electrode was fabricated on Teflon substrate with three silver wires which was coated with different types of carbon nanotube. A comparative study of electrochemical be...

The synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) of desired chiralities and diameters is one of the most important challenges in nanotube science and achieving such selectivity may require a detailed understanding of their growth mechanism. We report the formation of CNTs in an entirely condensed phase process that allows us, for the first time, to monitor the nucleation of a nanotube on the spherical ...

An array of aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was incorporated across a polymer film to form a well-ordered nanoporous membrane structure. This membrane structure was confirmed by electron microscopy, anisotropic electrical conductivity, gas flow, and ionic transport studies. The measured nitrogen permeance was consistent with the flux calculated by Knudsen diffusion through nanometer-scale tubes...

Flattening of a carbon nanotube results in the formation of a carbon nanoribbon with well-defined edges. In addition, a switching of the flattening direction by about a right angle yields a carbon nanotetrahedron at the switching point in a nanoribbon. Here, we report that chains of carbon nanotetrahedra/nanoribbons are formed via sequential switching of the flattening direction of multiwalled ...
