Flame synthesis of multi-walled carbon nanotubes using CH{sub 4}-H{sub 2} fuel blends

Journal Article Manciu, F S ; Camacho, J ; Choudhuri, A R - Fullerenes, Nanotubes, and Carbon Nanostructures

Flame synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has the potential to become a cost effective, energy efficient and scalable method for large-volume commercial synthesis. The in-flame concentration of key particulate inception intermediates, i.e., CH{sub 3}, C{sub 2}H{sub 2}, C{sub 3}H{sub 3}, and C{sub 5}H{sub 5} can be tailored using hydrogen fuel blends to optimize and enhance the yield of flame synthesis processes. Additionally, synthesis of CNTs using hydrogen fuel blends (coal or biomass derived gases) creates new opportunities for efficient coal utilization and by-product synergism of coal-fired power plants. This article reports an investigation on the synthesis of CNTs using H{submore »« less

Influence of the pore size in multi-walled carbon nanotubes on the hydrogen storage behaviors

Journal Article Lee, Seul-Yi ; Park, Soo-Jin - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

Activated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (A-MWCNTs) were prepared using a chemical activation method to obtain well-developed pore structures for use as hydrogen storage materials. The microstructure and crystallinity of the A-MWCNTs were evaluated by X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform Raman spectroscopy. The textural properties of the A-MWCNTs were investigated by nitrogen gas sorption analysis at 77 K. The hydrogen storage capacity of the A-MWCNTs was evaluated at 77 K and 1 bar. The results showed that the specific surface area of the MWCNTs increased from 327 to 495 m{sup 2}/g as the activation temperature was increased. The highest hydrogen storage capacitymore »« less

Solvothermal in situ synthesis of Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4}-multi-walled carbon nanotubes with enhanced heterogeneous Fenton-like activity

Journal Article Deng, Jingheng ; Wen, Xianghua ; Wang, Qinian - Materials Research Bulletin

Graphical abstract: After purification, the multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) act as seeds for Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} nanoparticles heterogeneous nucleation. The Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} nanoparticles with diameter range of 4.2–10.0 nm synthesized in situ on the MWCNTs under solvothermal condition. The formed nano Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4}-MWCNTs decolorized the Acid Orange II effectively via Fenton-like reaction. Highlights: ► The amount of water tunes size and size distribution of the Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} nanoparticles (FNs). ► FNs are homogeneously coated on the multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). ► FNs have diameters in the range of 4.2–10.0 nm, average grain size of 7.4 nm. ►more »« less
