“…Its morphology largely depends on homoeostatic environment of the reaction vessel. Liquid nitrogen as an atmospheric gas performs effectively [119, 120] in terms of high purity and yield. The procedure is economical since it does not demand high pressure and expensive inert gases.…”

Although many methods have been documented for carbon nanotube (CNT) synthesis, still, we notice many arguments, criticisms, and appeals for its optimization and process control. Industrial grade CNT production is urgent such that invention of novel methods and engineering principles for large-scale synthesis are needed. Here, we comprehensively review arc discharge (AD) and laser ablation (LA) methods with highlighted features for CNT production. We also display the growth mechanisms of CNT with reasonable grassroots knowledge to make the synthesis more efficient. We postulate the latest developments in engineering carbon feedstock, catalysts, and temperature cum other minor reaction parameters to optimize the CNT yield with desired diameter and chirality. The rate limiting steps of AD and LA are highlighted because of their direct role in tuning the growth process. Future roadmap towards the exploration of CNT synthesis methods is also outlined.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s11671-016-1730-0) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Closed-cage fullerene-like MoS 2 nanoparticles with diameters of 5-15 nm were obtained via an arc-discharge between a graphite cathode and a molybdenum anode filled with microscopic MoS 2 powder submerged in deionized water [17]. Carbon nanotubes with high yield were fabricated from the graphite discharge in liquid nitrogen or water [18,19]. Ag nanowire/particles were formed in a discharge between silver nitrate solution and silver electrode placed slightly above the liquid surface [20].…”

Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanotube and Graphene Materials for Oxygen Reduction Reactions

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Nitrogen-doped carbon materials, including nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (NCNTs) and nitrogen-doped graphene (NG), have attracted increasing attention for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in metal-air batteries and fuel cell applications, due to their optimal properties including excellent electronic conductivity, 4e − transfer and superb mechanical properties. Here, the recent progress of NCNTs-and NG-based catalysts for ORR is reviewed. Firstly, the general preparation routes of these two N-doped carbon-allotropes are introduced briefly, and then a special emphasis is placed on the developments of both NCNTs and NG as promising metal-free catalysts and/or catalyst support materials for ORR. All these efficient ORR electrocatalysts feature a low cost, high durability and excellent performance, and are thus the key factors in accelerating the widespread commercialization of metal-air battery and fuel cell technologies.
