A CuI coordination polymer based on the N,N’-bis(3-pyridinecarboxamide)-1,4-butane (3-dpyb) ligand, namely [Cu(3-dpyb)0.5Cl], is hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized, and is used as a catalyst precursor to synthesize multi-walled carbon nanotubes. Interestingly, the as-grown multi-walled carbon nanotubes exhibit high performance in removing dyes from solution and can serve as a low-cost and fast adsorbent. In addition, the adsorption behavior of this new adsorbent fits well with the Freundlich isotherm and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model.

Vertically aligned arrays of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (VACNTs) were grown by spray pyrolysis of turpentine oil and ferrocene mixture at temperatures higher than 700°C. Using this simple method, we report the successful growth of vertically aligned nanotubes of ~300μm length and diameter in the range of ?20–80 nm on Si (100) substrate. The ferrocene acts as an in situ Fe catalyst precursor, forming the nano-sized metallic iron particles for formation of VACNTs on the Si substrate. The morphological characteristics of VACNTs are confirmed by SEM, TEM and Raman spectroscopy and growth mechanism is discussed in short.

We report on a 20–40 s process for growing aligned, uniformed, high purity multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) using an alcohol lamp burner. With an appropriate catalyst precursor concentration, MWNTs can be grown on a Co-coated 304 stainless steel mesh under incomplete combustion conditions at 680–700°C. The process provides a rapid, easy, economic and safe method for the formation of carbon nanotubes. We suggest that the proposed method be considered as an educational kit for college or high school level experiments.

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were prepared by floating catalyst (FC) method, using methane as a carbon source and iron (III) chloride ( FeCl3 ) as a catalyst precursor, followed by purification with air oxidation and acid treatment. The as-grown and purified MWCNTs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, thermogravimetry analysis and Raman spectroscopy. The average inner and outer diameters of the MWCNTs were 25 and 39 nm, respectively. The purity and yield of the purified MWCNTs were more than 92% and 71% weight fraction, respectively.

AbstractCarbon nanotubes (CNT) are interesting candidates for the reinforcement in robust composites and for conducting fillers in polymers due to their fascinating electronic and mechanical properties. For the first time, we report the incorporation of multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) into silica-glass surfaces by means of partial surface-melting caused by a continuous wave Nd:YAG laser. MWNTs were detected being well incorporated in the silica-surface. The composites are characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman-spectroscopy. A model for the composite-formation is proposed based on heatabsorption by MWNTs and a partial melting of the silica-surface.
