“…Because the nanochannels of AAO films can be either one-side open or both-side open [30,31,86], the cap structure of AAO-CNTs can be controlled with good uniformity by selecting different types of AAO templates [33,38]. [87][88][89][90][91]. Li et al [87] first synthesized well aligned Y-junction CNTs using an AAO film with Y-branched nanochannels as template.…”

One of the most unique structural characteristics of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) differentiating from other carbon materials is their hollow nanochannles, which can be utilized for encapsulating and loading foreign matters. The anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template technique enables the diameter, length, and cap structure control of the replicated CNTs, and thus shows advantages in pore structure control over the traditional CNT growth approaches. This review details the synthesis of CNTs with tunable diameter, length, wall thickness, and crystalline by using the AAO template method. The doping of heteroatoms and filling of foreign matters into AAO-CNTs are also addressed. Moreover, the main challenges and developing trends of the AAO template method are discussed.carbon nanotubes (CNTs), anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template method, controllability Citation:Hou P X, Liu C, Shi C, et al.

“…3(g). This type of junctions can be produced in a controlled way using template [31] or pyrolysis [32] based methods and are very useful in nanoelectronic applications [33]. Due to local change in thermodynamical parameters catalyst particle may undergoes multiple fragmentations resulting in multiple branching as shown in Fig.…”

“…The synthesis of connections between two or more different CNFs is important for the development of carbon nanotube-based electronic devices and conducting structures. [13][14][15][16][17] Branched carbon nanotubes have been synthesized using pyrolysis at temperatures of around 1000°C. 18,19 Multijunction carbon nanotube networks have been also synthesized using pyrolysis at 1100°C.…”

Carbon nanofibers have been grown at room temperature using a combination of radio frequency and microwave assisted plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The nanofibers were grown, using Ni powder catalyst, onto substrates kept at room temperature by using a purposely designed water-cooled sample holder. Branched carbon nanofiber growth was obtained without using a template resulting in interconnected carbon nanofiber network formation on substrates held at room temperature. This method would allow room-temperature direct synthesized nanofiber networks over relatively large areas, for a range of temperature sensitive substrates, such as organic materials, plastics, and other polymers of interest for nanoelectronic two-dimensional networks, nanoelectromechanical devices, nanoactuators, and composite materials.
