Recent advances in CNT fabrication explore novel catalysts and doping for enhanced properties in applications like electronics and composites.
By Atif SuhailJan 30 2024Reviewed by Megan Craig, M.Sc. Learn about the recent studies that have advanced carbon nanotube fabrication.Introduction Carbon nanotubes are cylindrical structures formed by carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, and display distinctive traits that render them well-suited for a diverse array of applications.1
Recent Studies in Carbon Nanotube Fabrication Related StoriesIn a recent study, B. Cui et al. introduced a novel approach by incorporating copper catalysts in the process of growing CNTs on the surface of continuous carbon fiber . Their study aimed to investigate the impact of Cu catalyst on the properties of the resulting CNT-CF composite.
Furthermore, Shah et al. developed nanocomposites by dispersing Al2O3 powders and graphene in a suspension of carbon nanotubes in ethanol. After milling for 4 hours, the powders were sintered using Spark Plasma Sintering in a vacuum at 1500 °C with a constant uniaxial pressure of 21 MPa. Their study demonstrated the fabrication of nanocomposites by dispersing Al2O3 powders and graphene in a CNT suspension.
Conclusion The progress in fabricating carbon nanotubes presents significant potential for transforming diverse industries. Examining the general overview of CNTs and their applications, coupled with an exploration of various fabrication methods, underscores the multifaceted character of this state-of-the-art technology.
