Vacuum annealing of carbon nanotubes produced from amorphous carbon

Sprouting of pepper and tomato seeds with the use of multiwalled carbon nanotubes

“…The studies performed before [4][5][6] allow us to determine the conditions of carbon nanotube formation during mechanochemical treatment of amorphous carbon obtained from sphag num. It was found that the volume of nanofibrous product formed during mechanochemical treatment of amorphous carbon depends linearly on the duration of mechanical treatment in a vario planetary mill.…”

“…Based on the facts listed above and on the results obtained earlier by the authors with the use of nano tubes formed by means of mechanical activation of amorphous carbon [4,5], the purpose of this work is to investigate the effect of MWCNTs on seed sprouting. † Deceased.…”

Hydrogen storage in multilayer carbon nanotubes

“…This research is the continuation of a series on the creation of functional materials from plant matter [8][9][10].…”

“…On the basis of our previous research, we may iden tify the conditions for the creation of carbon nano tubes in the mechanochemical activation of amor phous carbon obtain from sphagnum moss and corn stalks [8,10,13]. The volume of the carbon nanotubes formed in mechanical activation depends linearly on the treatment time in the planetary mill.…”

Prospects for sphagnum peat as a source of fullerenes

“…The benefits of this method include its relative simplicity and the practi cally unlimited reserves of the raw material [2,7,10,[11][12][13][14]. Note that the reserves of slightly decomposed sphagnum peat may be estimated at 1.5-10.0 million t, for deposits within the Amuro-Amgunsk lowlands and the coastal terraces of the Tatar channel.…”
