A one-pot room-temperature-ionic-liquid-assisted sputtering approach is designed to synthesize Cu2O/MWCNTs nanocomposite with high capacitance and long cycling life due to synergistic effects of oxygen-deficient Cu2O and conductive MWCNTs.

Palladium-coated multi-walled carbon nanotube (Pd-MWCNT) nanocomposites have been experimentally proven to show highly improved hydrogen (H2) gas detection characteristics at room temperature when compared with single MWCNTs. In this context, we develop an efficient and convenient method for forming nanocomposites by coating Pd nanoparticles on an MWCNT film. Furthermore, we test the applicability of the nanocomposites as sensing materials in detecting H2 gas at room temperature in a reliable and sensitive manner in contrast with ordinary metal-oxidebased gas sensors that operate at high temperatures. We first study the detection efficacy of the Pd-MWCNT film relative to pure MWCNT film. Subsequently, we investigate the Pd-MWCNT sensor’s sensitivity over time for different gas concentrations, the sensor response time, and sensor reproducibility and reliability under various conditions including bending tests. Our sensor exhibits stable reliable detection characteristics and excellent structural flexibility.

A laser flash technique was applied to measure the thermal diffusivity along a multi-walled carbon nanotube (CNT) array in temperature range of −55∼200 °C. In the measurements, a nanosecond pulsed laser was used to realize noncontact heating and the temperature variations were recorded by an infrared detector. The experimental results show that the thermal diffusivity of the CNT array increases slightly with temperature in the −55∼70 °C temperature range and exhibits no obvious change in the −75∼200 °C temperature range. The CNT array has much larger thermal diffusivity than several known excellent thermal conductors, reaching about 4.6 cm2s−1 at room temperature. The mean thermal conductivity (λ) of individual CNTs was further estimated from the thermal diffusivity, specific heat (Cp), and density (ρ) by using the correlation of λ = αρCp. The thermal conductivity of individual CNTs increases smoothly with the temperature increase, reaching about 750 Wm−1K−1 at room temperature.
