Since their discovery in 1991, researchers have made steady progress in CNT synthesis methods. Early techniques like arc discharge and laser ablation could produce small quantities of high-quality ...

We have succeeded in synthesizing vertically aligned doubled-walled carbon nanotube (DWNT) forests with heights of up to 2.2 mm by water-assisted chemical vapour deposition (CVD). We achieved 85% ...

A research team from Tohoku University, led by Associate Professor Toshiaki Kato of the Advanced Institute for Materials Research, has successfully synthesized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with a chiral ...

There are various methods in making CNTs and fullerenes. The first time scientists have observed fullerenes was after vaporizing graphite with a short-pulse, high-powered laser. Yet, this method is ...

Semiconductor nanoparticles such as silicon carbide (SiC), germanium and silicon have also been used for single CNT catalysis. However, these catalyst materials are usually expensive and need to be of ...

In a recently published paper in Science Advances, Feng Ding of the Center for Multidimensional Carbon Materials, within the Institute of Basic Science (IBS, South Korea) and colleagues, have achieved ...
