Concentrating photovoltaic technology is one of the fastest growing solar energy
technologies achieving electrical conversion efficiency in excess of 43%. The operating …

Carbon nanotube synthesis using flame has enormous potential for large scale carbon
nanotubes production. Carbon-rich and autothermal conditions within the flame environment …

A novel one-step flame synthesis method was used to coat carbon nanotubes (CNTs) onto
plain weave S-glass fibre (GF) fabrics. Nickel chloride, as a catalyst, was applied on the GF …

Despite the utility and promise of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), their production is generally
based on empirical principles. There are only a few CNT formation models that predict the …

Carbon is one of the most abundant elements found in nature. It is also one of the elements
that form the fundamental building blocks of life on earth. Carbon, in solid, liquid and …

Catalyzed growth of carbon nanostructures occurs mainly through two modes, ie, base
growth when the metal nanoparticle remains at the bottom of the nanotube, or when it is …

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) offer a promising alternative energy technology, but suffer from
low power densities which hinder their practical applicability. In order to improve anodic …

Nanostructured carbon materials show a tremendous variety in atomic structure,
morphology, properties, and applications. As all properties are ultimately determined by the …

In recent years, flame synthesis has absorbed a great deal of attention as a combustion
method for the production of metal oxide nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, and other related …

We have conducted experimental and numerical studies on flame synthesis of carbon
nanotubes (CNTs) to investigate the effects of three key parameters–selective catalyst …
