Carbon Nanotubes synthesis, purification for applications in electronic technology

Abstract EN

Carbon Nanotubes were discovered by Iijima in 1990.

Then they have been recognized as exciting and fascinating novel material which have specific physical and chemical characteristics and lead to playing a vital role in developing tremendous technological applications.

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were obtained by the arc discharge technique in an atmosphere of Ar and H2 mixture.

The catalyst was prepared from a mixture of Ni and Fe.

They allow the realization of a quasi-one-dimensional environment for the materials diffused inside, particularly, the case of water inside such nano-chanels has recently received consequences.

Transport of molecules through molecular pores like nanotubes is essential for many biological and technical applications.
