“…Due to their nanostructure and the strong covalent bond between the carbon atoms, CNTs exhibit unique chemical, physical, mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. [88,89,90] Owing to these properties, they have a high potential for unique applications in many areas, such as electronics, [91] optics, [92] chemical/electrochemical, [93] construction materials, [94] composite materials, [95] and reinforcing additives, [96] among others. However, CNTs are highly expensive due to the complex preparation methods necessitating expensive equipment.…”

Heavy fuel oil ash (HFOA) is generated as an industrial waste material during the combustion of heavy fuel oil in power/desalination plants. With increasing energy demands, a significant volume of HFOA is generated. It is generally disposed of in landfills, causing environmental pollution, as it contains several toxic elements. Recently, efforts were made towards developing strategies for reusing industrial waste materials and creating value-added products from the waste materials. Despite significant information available in the literature on the utilization of HFOA, there is still a need for a thorough and systematic review on the characterization and utilization of HFOA in various applications. Consequently, this paper aims to present a critical review of the literature on HFOA generation, its chemical composition, physical properties, morphology, and applications. It is encouraging to note that HFOA has been used in several potential applications, such as the preparation of activated carbon and carbon nanotubes, metal recovery, environmental pollutant removal, polymer composites and construction materials, etc. However, the development of several value-added materials utilizing HFOA and its applications in other areas such as coatings, cathodic protection systems, and phase change materialswould emerge as a new topic of research. It is expected that this review will act as a precursor for further research on the use of HFOA in industrial applications. Since the use of HFOA will lead to environmental, economic, and technical benefits, research in the utilization of this industrial waste material is highly recommended.

“…The direct growth of nanotubes on the support platform of the sensor by means of CVD methods involves the heating of the catalytic metal nanoparticles at high temperatures (500–1000 °C) in a furnace, then the feeding of the furnace with gaseous hydrocarbons (ethylene, acetylene, or methane) for a certain amount of time [66]. Thus, CNTs are synthesized by transmitting the energy to hydrocarbons; the energy sources used are: electrical resistors, electron beam [12], plasma-enhanced [30], or microwaves [54].…”

Accurate measurement of temperatures with low power consumption with the highest sensitivity and smallest possible elements is still a challenge. The thermal, electrical, and mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have suggested that their use as a very sensitive sensing element will allow the creation of different sensors, far superior to other devices of similar size. In this paper, we present a short review of different constructive designs of CNTs based resistive sensors used for temperature measurement, available in literature, assembled using different processes, such as self-assembly, drop-casting from a solution, thin films obtained by gluing, printing, spraying, or filtration over a special membrane. As particular cases, temperature sensors obtained from CNT-polymer nanocomposite structures, CNTs filled with uniformly dispersed Fe3O4 nanoparticles or with gallium, and carbon nanotube wires (CNWs) hybrids are presented. Using these preparation procedures, mixtures of CNTs with different dimensions and chirality, as well as with a variable level of impurities and structural defects, can be produced. The sensors’ performance charts are presented, highlighting a number of aspects regarding the applicability of CNT structures for temperature measurement ranging from cryogenic temperatures to high temperatures, the limitations they have, their characteristics and advantages, as well as the special situations that may arise given the particular structure of these new types of materials, together with basic relationships and parameters for CNTs characterization. Further research will be required to develop the techniques of manipulating and depositing individual CNTs on supports and electrodes for the development of temperature sensors.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have, over the years, been used in research as a promising material in electronics as a thermal interface material and as interconnects amongst other applications. However, there exist several issues preventing the widespread integration of CNTs onto device applications, e.g., high growth temperature and interfacial resistance. To overcome these issues, a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible CNT array transfer method that electrically connects the CNT arrays to target device substrates was developed. The method separates the CNT growth and preparation steps from the target substrate. Utilizing an alignment tool with the capabilities of thermocompression enables a highly accurate transfer of CNT arrays onto designated areas with desired patterns. With this transfer process as a starting point, improvement pointers are also discussed in this paper to further improve the quality of the transferred CNTs.
