Synthesis and characterization of SnO–carbon nanotube composite as anode material for lithium-ion batteries

Controlling the size and size distribution of magnetite nanoparticles on carbon nanotubes

“…Many efforts have been devoted to the synthesis of nanocomposites using CNTs due to their synergistic and hybrid properties as components, which have various applications such as reinforcement fibers, novel catalysts and potential electronic nanodevices [10][11][12][13][14]. Dispersing particles on the sidewalls of CNTs can make solid nanoparticles achieving a high dispersion degree.…”

Morphology study of carbon nanospecies grown on carbon fibers by thermal CVD technique

“…Their superior thermal, mechanical, electrical and electronic properties [2][3][4] have been the main source of this attraction. Owing to their fascinating properties CNTs are potential candidates for numerous applications in diverse fields and being used in nano-devices; such as sensors, actuators, electrodes for fuel cell and Li ion batteries [5,6], carbon nanotube field effect transistors (CNTFETs) and interconnects [7,8]. Their extremely small size and superior electronic properties play an important role on the performance of a device.…”

The electrochemical hydrogen storage of CNTs synthesized by CVD using LaNi5 alloy particles as catalyst and treated with different temperature in nitrogen

“…Rajalakshmi et al [10] researched the electrodes made of SWNTs with a purity of 80% and Cu powder on a ratio of 1:3, and with PTFE as binder: they found the discharge capacity was 800 mAh/g under 10 mA charge/discharge current. Experiment shows that CNTs is the best alternative of the traditional carbonmaterial that is made into the electrodes [11], and exhibits a good electrochemical hydrogen storage property. CNTs also have a strong oxidation resistance and therefore can improve the cycle performance when they are made into electrode.…”
