Carbon dioxide-boosted growth of high-density and vertically aligned carbon nanotube arrays on a stainless steel mesh

Abstract

Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNTs), a unique group of highly aligned CNTs normal to a substrate, have been extensively studied during the past decades.

In situ Preparation of SiOx/Carbon Nanotube Composite Films with Excellent Mechanical and Electrochemical Properties as an Anode Material for Lithium‐Ion Batteries

“…By transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis, these particles were found to be around 40–60 nm in diameter, and the CNTs were of about 10–15 nm (Figure 2B) and multi‐walled with the d‐spacing of 0.34 nm (Figure 2C). [ 45 ]…”

“…By transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis, these particles were found to be around 40-60 nm in diameter, and the CNTs were of about 10-15 nm (Figure 2B) and multi-walled with the d-spacing of 0.34 nm (Figure 2C). [45] In addition, the cross sections of the particles showed a complex structure, which was composed of a crystalline part and an amorphous surrounding (Figure 2D). Under a high magnification, the central crystalline part (green region) revealed a lattice fringe spacing of ≈0.2 nm, being consistent with the (110) crystal plane of Fe (PDF:06-0695), and its encapsulating part (red region) suggested to be graphitic carbon.…”
