“…Growth occurs through an epitaxial process starting with the adsorption of carbon on the catalyst surface, originating from hydrocarbon decomposition, either in a glow discharge or by a thermal process 19 . According to the literature [14][15][16][17]20,21 Ni is widely used as a catalyst for nanotube and nanofiber growth. Their structure can be controlled according to the catalyst pretreatment.…”

Composite transparent electrodes based on carbon nanostructures such as multiwalled carbon nanotubes and graphene platelets were spray coated onto glass substrates and characterized by spectrophotometry and spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements. The dispersion relations of the ellipsometric angle rate, i.e. W and D versus wavelength k were measured in spectral range from 190 to 1700 nm. On the basis of these results, it was possible to estimate the value of the refractive index and extinction coefficient. Effective medium approximation model was chosen to calculate the optical constants of a mixed material. The average surface roughness and the average thickness of spray coated transparent resistive layers were also determined. The materials have a heterogeneous structure as confirmed by scanning electron microscopy and optical measurements (changes of depolarisation). From the Tauc plot it was possible to determine the energy gap. The influence of the coating process and the paint preparation on the optical properties was observed.

“…Representing one-dimensional and two-dimensional carbonaceous materials, both carbon nanotube (CNTs) and graphene possess outstanding mechanical, physical, and electrical properties, which are exploited in many applications including supercapacitors, photo-catalysts and nano-electronics [1,2]. However, the tendency of graphene to form stacks reduces both its potentially large specific area and its single-layer electric conduction ability.…”

A new method to synthesize carbon nanotubesgraphene flowers using a spray drying technique is described. The individual contributions of CNTs and graphene in the creation of the flower-like structure are discussed and investigated. The obtained novel carbon nanotubes-graphene flowers exhibit a large adsorption affinity and can serve as an ideal supporting matrix to uniformly load different types of nanoparticles. The method is relatively simple and has a large potential for use in research and technology.
