Abstract:Since the discovery of carbon nanotubes in 1991 by Iijima, they have been of great interest both from the fundamental point of view and for future applications. The most eye catching features of this structure are their electronic, mechanical, optical and chemical characteristics, which opens a way to future applications. These properties can even be measured on single nanotubes. For commercial applications, large quantities of purified nanotubes are needed. In this paper, recent research on preparation of carbon nanotubes with special reference to low temperature synthesis of high purity is reviewed. The reported achievements in this area will open up more knowledge on carbon nanostructured materials in many areas of emerging nanoscale science and nanotechnology.

“…Furthermore, it harnesses a variety of hydrocarbons in any state (solid, liquid, or gas), enables the use of various substrates, and allows CNTs growth in a variety of forms, such as powder, thin or thick films, aligned or entangled, straight or coiled, or even a desired architecture of nanotubes at predefined sites on a patterned substrate. MWNTs were grown from benzene, ethylene, methane, and many other hydrocarbons (Endo et al, 1993;José-Yacamán et al, 1993;Satiskumar et al, 1999;Hernadi et al, 1996). SWNTs were first produced by Dai et al from disproportionation of CO, and SWNTs were also produced from benzene, acetylene, ethylene, and methane using various catalysts.…”

“…The formation of Fe 3 C has been reported for the cases that carbon containing gases such as C 2 H 2 and CH 4 react with Fe elements in the reduction atmosphere. 25,26) For the case of FeSi 2 , it has been known that Si can form alloys with Fe along the interface of both components during high temperature processes near 700 o C. 5) However, FeSi 2 was found not to react with Li ions during electrochemical cycling.

:As an effort to address the chronic capacity fading of Si anodes and thus achieve their robust cycling performance, herein, we develop a unique electrode in which silicon nanoparticles are embedded in the carbon nanotubes network. Utilizing robust contacts between silicon nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes, the composite electrodes exhibit excellent electrochemical performance : 95.5% capacity retention after 140 cycles as well as rate capability such that at the C-rate increase from 0.1C to 1C to 10C, the specific capacities of 850, 698, and 312 mAh/g are obtained, respectively. The present investigation suggests a useful design principle for silicon as well as other high capacity alloying electrodes that undergo large volume expansions during battery operations.
