▪ Abstract This account reviews the discovery, synthesis, properties, and the latest research
advances of carbon nanotubes developed over the past 12 years. Because of their …

The majority of the world energy consumption is derived from fossil fuels. The conversion
reactions required for retrieving energy from carbon resources result in the production of …

The latest advances in the synthesis, properties, characterisation and applications of carbon
nanotubes and related materials are presented. The roots of this field and some important …

The performance of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is greatly influenced by
the characteristics of gas diffusion layer (GDL). Herein, in situ grown carbon nanotubes …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), a novel carbonaceous material, have been widely studied since
their discovery in 1991. CNTs have highly unique electronic, mechanical, catalytic …

We carried out experiments to investigate the origin of the growth modes in CVD synthesis of
multi-wall carbon nanotubes. The results obtained show that the mode of CNT growth …

Attempts to grow carbon nanotubes directly on to aluminum (Al) substrates have had limited
success, primarily due to its relatively low melting point of 660° C. In this work, we have …

Hot wire chemical vapor deposition (HWCVD) has been adapted to be a continuous growth
process for high-density carbon multiwall nanotubes (MWNTs). MWNT growth is optimized …

Carbon nanofibers are grown by direct current and hot filaments-activated catalytic chemical
vapor deposition while varying the power of the hot filaments. Observations of these carbon …

The mechanism of field emission from a metal surface was well explained based on the
quantum mechanics in early 20th century. Since then, various materials have been studied …
