Single wall carbon nanohorns coated with anatase titanium oxide

Synthesis and characterization of Bi-doped Mg2Si thermoelectric materials

“…In spite of their tiny conical structure, SWCNHs maintain many of the typical properties of carbon nanotubes such as good electrical and thermal conductivities and the easiness of functionalization. Interesting influence of this kind of carbon nanostructures in ceramic composite materials on their morphological shape and functional properties were previously reported [16][17][18].…”

TiO2 Strelitzia-like Hybrid Nanocomposites Obtained by a Synergic Combination of Vapor Techniques

“…These defective points can become themselves favourite sites for the decomposition of the Ti precursor. As a matter of fact, after the MOCVD treatment, the a-nanohorns became incredibly hydrophilic as reported in a recent paper (18).…”

Hydrogen storage properties of Pd-doped thermally oxidized single wall carbon nanohorns

“…The TGA/DSC curves of the SWCNH-Pd and SWCNHox-Pd samples (Fig. 2, bottom) revealed that the burn-off temperature of SWCNHox-Pd is higher than that of SWCNH-Pd, pointing to at least partial removal of the amorphous carbon (revealed by TEM and XRD) during air oxidation [21,22]. The pore properties of the pristine, thermally treated and doped carbons were determined by N 2 adsorption-desorption measurements at 77 K (Fig.…”
