“…An overall layout of each system and its associated processes are shown in Figure 2. The yield rate of all aforementioned methods is more than 75% under appropriate operating conditions [22], but some questions about the structural quality, diameter uniformity, chirality, practicality, number of unitary operations, and production cost continue to divide opinions about the best strategy [4,[21][22][23][24]. Researchers are continually trying to explore each possibility to optimize or innovate them for several new applications.…”

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) have provided unprecedented advances in the design of electrochemical sensors. They are composed by sp2 carbon units oriented as multiple concentric tubes of rolled-up graphene, and present remarkable active surface area, chemical inertness, high strength, and low charge-transfer resistance in both aqueous and non-aqueous solutions. MWCNT are very versatile and have been boosting the development of a new generation of electrochemical sensors with application in medicine, pharmacology, food industry, forensic chemistry, and environmental fields. This work highlights the most important synthesis methods and relevant electrochemical properties of MWCNT for the construction of electrochemical sensors, and the numerous configurations and successful applications of these devices. Thousands of studies have been attesting to the exceptional electroanalytical performance of these devices, but there are still questions in MWCNT electrochemistry that deserve more investigation, aiming to provide new outlooks and advances in this field. Additionally, MWCNT-based sensors should be further explored for real industrial applications including for on-line quality control.

“…Therefore, it is usual to get a bundle of carbon nanotubes comprise of all these structures in bulk production. Nevertheless, the orientation of the carbon nanotubes can be controlled to form vertically aligned array [29]. This type of highly ordered orientation also has effect on the final properties of the carbon nanotubes.…”

“…Whereas multi-walled carbon nanotubes are made of more single-walled carbon nanotubes arranged concentrically. The average diameter of a single-walled carbon nanotube is about 1-2 nm, while a multi-walled carbon nanotube can be more than 50 nm [29,30]. Generally, the length of carbon nanotubes can be in the range of micrometre or even millimetre, and this gives carbon nanotubes a high aspect ratio.…”

Large‐scale oxidation of multi‐walled carbon nanotubes in fluidized bed from ozone‐containing gas mixtures

100 g of multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) tangled in balls of 388 μm in Sauter diameter were treated per run in a pre‐industrial scale fluidized bed reactor, using ozone‐based gaseous mixtures at ambient temperature. The influence of ozone concentration and of the addition of water vapour was studied, for treatment durations between 1 h and 20 h. The process behaviour was analyzed in terms of fluidized bed pressure drop and temperature profile. The nature and amount of the grafted oxygen based functions were analyzed, as the structural modifications created. An oxidation mechanism in two steps was evidenced, showing the grafting of hydroxyl, phenol, and ether functions in a first step and then of lactone, quinone, carbonyl, and carboxylic groups. A moderate etching of the MWCNT outer walls was observed. The amount of grafted functions and of structural defects increased with treatment duration and was highly exalted by the presence of water vapour. All the results obtained showed that the oxidation was uniform on the whole powder of the bed and from the outer part to the centre of the balls, probably thanks to the high fluidization quality maintained all along the ozone treatment.
