The hybrid nanomaterials of platinum/cerium oxide/multi-walled carbon nanotubes ( Pt/CeO2 /MWCNTs) are synthesized successfully via impregnation and polyol processes. MWCNTs serve as an excellent supporter where CeO2 nanoparticles are decorated with well-distributed Pt nanoparticles. Images show the average particle size of crystalline Pt and CeO2 on MWCNTs are 3–7 and 20–30 nm, respectively. In electrochemical reaction, the redox peak of Pt/CeO2 -700°C/MWCNTs reveals lower potential and higher current density in methanol electro-oxidation than those of other Pt -based ones. The study indicates that the cerium oxide in Pt/CeO2 -700°C/MWCNTs catalyst will enhance significantly the oxygen ions transportation between the interface of Pt and MWCNTs to eliminate the CO poison effect on Pt catalyst.

Ionogels refer to an emerging composite material made from the confinement of ionic liquids within some specific cross-linked network matrices. They have potential applications in areas such as electrochemical and optical-electric materials. Incorporation of lanthanide (Eu3+, Tb3+) complexes covalently functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in ionogels provide new ideas to design and synthesize novel luminescent hybrid materials that have excellent characteristics of luminescence and ionic conductivity. Here, the multifunctional ionogels were synthesized by confining an ionic liquid and the rare earth functionalized MWCNTs in the cross-linked polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) networks, resulting in a novel optical/electric multifunctional hybrid material. The SEM images and digital photographs suggest that the lanthanide functionalized MWCNTs are evenly dispersed in the hybrid matrices, thus leading to a certain transparency bulky gel. The resulting ionogels exhibit certain viscosity and flexibility, and display an intense red/green emission under UV-light irradiation. The intrinsic conductibility of the embedded ionic liquids and carbon nanotubes in conjunction with the outstanding photoluminescent properties of lanthanide complexes makes the soft hybrid gels a material with great potential and valuable application in the field of optical-electric materials.

Mustard Seeds

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are one of the nanomaterials that can be applied to agriculture. This work investigates the beneficial effects of MWCNT function on mustard plants. In this study, the material of MWCNTs is functionalized with nitric acid to attach the carboxylic group onto the tube wall. The functionalized MWCNTs were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, and FTIR. The MWCNT diameter produced ranges from 20 to 50 nm and the inner diameter is 5 to 10 nm at the pyrolysis temperature of 900 °C. It was found that crystallites of the MWCNTs have (002) and (100) directions. There is a weak peak in MWCNTs prior to the functionalization process due to the presence of metal carbide (Fe3C), which serves as an active catalyst. FTIR results clearly indicate the presence of hydroxyl and carboxylic groups. These functionalized MWCNTs were dispersed into distilled water with various concentrations at 25, 50 and 75 µg/mL. By utilizing an immersion time of 24 h, mustard (Brassica juncea) seeds were soaked in each functionalized and non-functionalized MWCNT solution. Functionalized MWCNT solution at a concentration of 50 µg/mL was found to affect the growth of mustard seeds more significantly.

Aiming at the purpose of using carbon nanotubes as secondary phase in composite materials, removal of metal catalyst, catalyst support and amorphous carbon is crucial to make the most of the required properties. A purification method was developed to remove the metal catalyst from multi-walled nanotubes grown by thermal CVD. A nanosized Fe-based catalyst, prepared by coprecipitation of iron and aluminum ions, followed by solid state reaction, was used to catalyze the growth. Carbon nanotubes were subjected to acid purification and a comparison between nitric acid and a mixture of nitric and hydrochloric acid for the removal of Fe and Fe oxides is provided. Morphological and spectroscopic analyses of the materials were performed, both before and after the purification processes.
