The Impact

Carbon nanotubes have been intensively researched for many years because of a wide array of promising properties that they have. In this paper, we present the impact of synthesis parameters on thermoelectric properties of nanocarbon material. We conducted a number of syntheses of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) at different temperatures (800 and 900 °C) using various amounts of catalyst (2%, 5.5%, and 9.6%) to facilitate the process. We also tested the influence of injection rate of precursor and the necessity of material purification on thermoelectric properties of MWCNTs. The electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and Seebeck coefficient were measurement for all samples. Based on these parameters, the values of Power Factor and Figure of Merit were calculated. The results show that the most important parameter in the context of thermoelectric properties is purity of employed MWCNTs. To obtain appropriate material for this purpose optimum synthesis temperature and appropriate content of the catalyst must be selected. The study also reveals that post-synthetic purification of nanocarbon is essential to produce an attractive material for thermoelectrics.

The Impact

The present study aims to investigate the influence of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the damage tolerance after impact (CAI) of the development of Out of Autoclave (OoA) carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates. The introduction of MWCNTs into the structure of CFRPs has been succeeded by adding carbon nanotube-enriched sizing agent for the pre-treatment of the fibre preform and using an in-house developed methodology that can be easily scaled up. The modified CFRPs laminates with 1.5 wt.% MWCNTs were subjected to low velocity impact at three impact energy levels (8, 15 and 30 J) and directly compared with the unmodified laminates. In terms of the CFRPs impact performance, compressive strength of nanomodified composites was improved for all energy levels compared to the reference material. The test results obtained from C-scan analysis of nano-modified specimens showed that the delamination area after the impact is mainly reduced, without the degradation of compressive strength and stiffness, indicating a potential improvement of damage tolerance compared to the reference material. SEM analysis of fracture surfaces revealed the additional energy dissipation mechanisms; pulled-out carbon nanotubes which is the main reason for the improved damage tolerance of the multifunctional composites.

This work is devoted to the study of the effect of carbon nanotubes functionalization on the electrical conductivity of composite materials based on them. Carbon nanotubes were functionalized by treatment in nitric acid and isopropyl alcohol. Changes in the morphology of multi-walled carbon nanotubes during liquid-phase functionalization were investigated using Auger-electron microscopy. Samples of composite material on the basis of initial and functionalized carbon nanotubes and epoxy resin were prepared and the concentration dependence of electrical conductivity using the four-probe method was studied. The study reveals the effect of functionalization in various solutions on the electrophysical properties of the obtained carbon nanotubes/epoxy composites.

The Impact

Nanocarbon structures such as graphene (GR), single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) as well as the multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were deposited on crystalline n-type silicon wafers to fabricate nanoCarbon-Si solar cells. Nanocarbon films deposited on glass and porous silicon (PS) via pulse laser deposition (PLD) with the use of Q-Switching Nd: YAG laser with λ=1064 (nm), Energy (E)=700 (mJ), Repetition rate (f)=6 (HZ) under vacuum condition with 2.5×10-2 (mbar). The surface morphology, structure, and optical Nanocarbon thin films have been examined with the use of X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Atomic force microscope (AFM), FTIR spectrophotometer and UV-visible. In addition, the power conversion efficiency that is related to the prepared solar cells is estimated through J-V characterization. The PCE of all Nanocarbon/PS follows the orders; SWCNTs/PS < MWCNTs/PS< GR/PS.
