Spillover on a Platinum Electrode Modified by MWNTs

The spillover phenomenon is observed on the platinum (Pt) disk electrode modified by multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs). The rate of the spillover of oxygen-containing species produced on Pt surface to and from MWNTs is fast. However for hydrogen-adatoms, the spillover is very weak. The selective spillover on the Pt/MWNTs electrode may provide a novel way to design catalysts.

XPS Spectra of K-Ru/MWNTs Catalysts for Ammonia Synthesis

Alkali metal and alkali oxide-promoted ruthenium has been found to be one of the most active catalysts for ammonia synthesis under atmospheric pressure^[1]. Recently, We found^[2] that the K-Ru/MWNTs catalyst showed very high activity for ammonia synthesis. It is suggested that the high activity is due to the special electronic and structural properties of the carbon nanotubes. Alkali and alkali oxide doped MWNTs have been reported to be more favorable for electronic transfer and hydrogen storage^[3]. In the ammonia synthesis,these properties may play important roles. In this study, K-Ru/MWNTs and Ru/MWNTs were prepared and characterized by XPS. We found that alkali oxide can improve the Ru dispersion similar to the classic catalysts for ammonia synthesis.

Highly visible-light luminescence properties of the carboxyl-functionalized short and ultrashort MWNTs

Luminescence of the short multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) conjugated with carboxylic acid groups has been studied. The results show that the carboxyl-functionalized short MWNTs could emit luminescence and the emission peak appears at 500 nm with a corresponding optimal excitation wavelength centering at 310 nm. When the short MWNTs are filtered through 0.15 μm polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane, the ultrashort MWNTs are obtained from the filtrate. An interesting feature for the ultrashort MWNTs is that the emission intensity is strengthened and the peak is slightly blue shifted to 460 nm. This result indicates that the luminescence properties of MWNTs are strongly affected by the tube length. After chemical oxidization cutting, defects and carboxylic acid groups at the tube end and/or sidewall can be produced; the more shorten of MWNTs, the better dispersion and carboxylic passivation of the nanotubes, and the more intense luminescence emissions. The broad emissions are logically attributed to the trapping of excitation energy by defect sites in the carboxyl-functionalized nanotube structure.

A Simple Road for the Transformation of Few-Layer Graphene into MWNTs

We report the direct formation of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) by ultrasonication of graphite in dimethylformamide (DMF) upon addition of ferrocene aldehyde (Fc-CHO). The tubular structures appear exclusively at the edges of graphene layers and contain Fe clusters. Fc in conjunction with benzyl aldehyde, or other Fc derivatives, does not induce formation of NT. Higher amounts of Fc-CHO added to the dispersion do not increase significantly MWNT formation. Increasing the temperature reduces the amount of formation of MWNTs and shows the key role of ultrasound-induced cavitation energy. It is concluded that Fc-CHO first reduces the concentration of radical reactive species that slice graphene into small moieties, localizes itself at the edges of graphene, templates the rolling up of a sheet to form a nanoscroll, where it remains trapped, and finally accepts and donates unpaired electron to the graphene edges and converts the less stable scroll into a MWNT. This new methodology matches the long held notion that CNTs are rolled up graphene layers. The proposed mechanism is general and will lead to control the production of carbon nanostructures by simple ultrasonication treatments.     

Functionalization of MWNTs with Hyperbranched PEI for Highly Selective Isolation of BSA

Cationic hyperbranched BPEI was immobilized on the surface of MWNTs via electrostatic interactions between the positively charged protonated amines within the polymer and the carboxyl groups on the chemically oxidized MWNT surface. The functionalized BPEI‐MWNTs were characterized by FT‐IR, TGA, TEM and surface charge analysis, and it was used as a bio‐sorbent for the adsorption of proteins. CD spectra showed no conformational change of BSA during the adsorption/desorption process. A dynamic adsorption capacity of 167 mg · g^?1 for BSA was achieved. With a sample volume of 2.0 mL, an enrichment factor of 10 was obtained along with an adsorption efficiency of 100%, a recovery of 100%, a sampling frequency of 10 h^?1 and a RSD of 2.6% at 25 µg · mL^?1 BSA.

     

Preparation of NiO/MWNTs Nanocomposites by a Simple Chemical Precipitation Method

NiO/MWNTs nanocomposites have been prepared by a simple and efficient chemical precipitation method with the aid of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Hybrid materials were characterized by XRD, TEM, EDX, Zeta potential and FT‐IR techniques. Experimental results show that NiO nanoparticles with the size of less than 9 nm are well‐dispersed on the outside of MWNTs functionalized with SDS. Hydrogenated NiO/MWNTs hybrid materials exhibit good catalytic performance in the benzene hydrogenation reaction.     

Thermal conductivity enhancement of MWNTs on the PANI/tetradecanol form-stable PCM

We prepared PANI/tetradecanol/MWNTs composites via in-situ polymerization. DSC results indicated that the composites are good form-stable phase change materials (PCMs) with large phase change enthalpy of 115 J g⁻¹. The MWNTs were randomly dispersed in the composites and significantly enhanced the thermal conductivity of the PCMs from 0.33 to 0.43 W m⁻¹ K⁻¹. The form-stable PCMs won’t liquefy even it is heated at 80°C, so that the MWNTs were fixed in the composite and the phase separation of the MWNTs from PANI/tetradecanol/MWNTs composites won’t occur.

Unpredictable dispersion states of MWNTs in HDPE: A comparative and comprehensive study

A review of the literature indicates a wide range of dispersion states of carbon nanotubes (CNT) in high density polyethylene (HDPE), with in some cases, formation of micro-composites with bundle-like aggregation of the nanoparticles and in some others, much finer nanotube dispersion leading to higher performance (nano)composite materials. This contribution emphasizes the diversity of these results by comparing the dispersion state of different types of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNT) blended within several grades of HDPE via melt processing. It appears that each combination leads to a different dispersion quality. This study highlights that there is not a universal method to blend CNT and HDPE and that the dispersion state of the nanotubes is not readily predictable. Actually, inherent affinity between CNT and polyethylene proved to be rather great but melt viscosity and processing conditions represent key-parameters to be considered for allowing dissociation and dispersion of the nanoparticles within the polyolefinic matrix.
