Controllable synthesis of carbon nanotubes with ultrafine inner diameters in ethanol flame

Flame synthesis of carbon nanostructures on Ni-plated hardmetal substrates

“…For example, ethanol diffusion flame has been reported to synthesize CNTs and CNFs on carbon steels, low alloy steels, Ni-containing metals such as type 304 and YUS701 austenitic stainless steels, and pure copper [8,12,13]. …”

Facile flame synthesis and electrochemical properties of carbon nanocoils

“…However, these synthetic methods have limitations with regard to largescale and economical production of such materials because of their complicated procedures and harsh conditions. The flame process is one of the most widely used approaches for the manufacture of nanostructures such as metal oxides and CNTs by realizing a fast growth at atmospheric pressure while the required high temperature and the hydrocarbon precursors can be simultaneously provided [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. For CNC production, maybe flame synthesis is a continuous-flow, scaleable method with the potential to considerably lower the cost compared to other methods.…”

Nickel/carbon nanofibers composite electrodes as supercapacitors prepared by electrospinning

“…Recently, various materials have been tried for developing supercapacitors [2][3][4][5], but the application is still limited due to the low energy. To improve power and energy density of the electrochemical capacitors, researchers have put attention to developing and modifying carbonaceous materials, such as increasing impactful surface area, introduction of electroactive metallic particles, they prepared various carbonaceous nanostructures such as nanowires, nanotubes [6] and nanospheres [7,8], etc.…”
