Advances in materials are an important contributor to our technological progress, and yet the
process of materials discovery and development itself is slow. Our current research process …

The synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with defined properties is
required for both fundamental investigations and practical applications. The revealing and …

The Ostwald ripening behavior of Fe catalyst films deposited on thin alumina supporting
layers is demonstrated as a function of thermal annealing in H2 and H2/H2O. The addition of …

Understanding the population growth behavior of filamentary nanostructures, such as
carbon nanotubes (CNTs), is hampered by the lack of characterization techniques capable …

We study synthesis of vertically aligned carbon nanotube (CNT)“forests” by a decoupled
method that facilitates control of the mean diameter and structural quality of the CNTs and …

The growth of tall, single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) forests is often believed to require
the use of specific feedstocks (eg, ethanol) or etchants (eg, water). Here, on the basis of …

Applications of carbon nanotubes continue to advance, with substantial progress in
nanotube electronics, conductive wires, and transparent conductors to name a few …

We present a systematic study of the temperature and pressure dependence of the growth
rate of vertically aligned small diameter (single-and few-walled) carbon nanotube forests …

Three‐dimensional hierarchical nanocomposites consisting of one‐dimensional carbon
nanotubes (CNTs) and two‐dimensional lamellar flakes (such as clay, layered double …

Utilizing aligned carbon nanotube arrays grown from chemical vapor deposition, we present
a highly scalable route toward the formation of ribbons and ultrathin transparent films directly …
