“…But for larger series there is a shift in the most stable chirality from zigzag towards armchair (chiral tubes) as the temperatures increases. An example would be for the 16-series where the most stable chirality, (16, 0) at 0 K, changes to (15, 1) above 576 K, to (14, 2) above 604 K, (13, 3) above 692 K and to (12, 4) above 1303 K. Also interesting is to look at the 13-series for which the most stable chirality at 873.15 K ( 600 • C ) is (10,3). This chirality is very close to the experimental results by Chiang et al [30] who obtained mostly (9,4) tubes from SWCNT growth on floating Ni catalysts using C 2 H 2 at 600 • C .…”

“…The chirality, and thus the properties of a SWCNT, is set during the creation (growth) of the tube. Today's methods for producing SWCNTs, catalytic chemical vapour deposition (CCVD), give products with a mixture of chiralities and thus a mixture of properties [2,3]. This is one of the major problems holding back the use of nanotubes in commercial products.…”

Recent breakthroughs in the field of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) growth have been achieved by combining theoretical models with experiments. Theoretical models rely on accurate energies for SWCNTs, obtained via first principle calculations in the form of density functional theory (DFT). Such calculations are accurate, but time and resource intensive which limits the size and number of systems that can be studied. Here, we present a new analytical model consisting of three fundamental energy expressions, parametrized using DFT, for fast and accurate calculation of SWCNT energies at any temperature. Tests against previously published results show our model having excellent accuracy, with an root mean square error in total energies below 2 meV per atom as compared to DFT. We apply the model to study SWCNT growth on Ni catalysts at elevated temperatures by investigating the SWCNT/catalyst interface energy. Results show that the most stable interface shifts towards chiral edges as the temperature increases. The model's ability to perform calculations at any temperature in combination with its speed and flexibility will allow researcher to study more and larger systems, aiding future research into SWCNT growth.

“…Many applications of CNTs have been examined, as they are one of the representative nanomaterials produced since the discovery of CNTs by Iijima in 1991 [1]. Over 25 years, many research and review papers have been actively published [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. However, the application and commercialization of CNT-based products have been limited to luxury and expensive products [2,3] because the manufacturing process is complicated and high in cost [17][18][19].…”

A Review of Applications Using Mixed Materials of Cellulose, Nanocellulose and Carbon Nanotubes

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been extensively studied as one of the most interesting nanomaterials for over 25 years because they exhibit excellent mechanical, electrical, thermal, optical, and electrical properties. In the past decade, the number of publications and patents on cellulose and nanocellulose (NC) increased tenfold. Research on NC with excellent mechanical properties, flexibility, and transparency is accelerating due to the growing environmental problems surrounding us such as CO2 emissions, the accumulation of large amounts of plastic, and the depletion of energy resources such as oil. Research on mixed materials of cellulose, NC, and CNTs has been expanding because these materials exhibit various characteristics that can be controlled by varying the combination of cellulose, NC to CNTs while also being biodegradable and recyclable. An understanding of these mixed materials is required because these characteristics are diverse and are expected to solve various environmental problems. Thus far, many review papers on cellulose, NC or CNTs have been published. Although guidance for the suitable application of these mixed materials is necessary, there are few reviews summarizing them. Therefore, this review introduces the application and feature on mixed materials of cellulose, NC and CNTs.
