Characteristics of carbon nanoparticles synthesized by a submerged arc in alcohols, alkanes, and aromatics

Article Abstract:

A study employs liquid components consisting of carbon atoms in their molecules, such as alcohols, alkanes, and aromatic compounds, as liquid media in order to investigate the effects of liquids on the product structures and the yield of carbon nanoparticles (CNPs). Results show that CNPs that included multi-walled carbon nanotubes and multi-shelled carbon nanoparticles were produced at high concentrations in the hard deposit at the cathode tip formed by the arc in the alcohols and alkanes, similar to that in a water environment.

Platinum catalysts prepared with functional carbon nanotube defects and its improved catalytic performance for methanol oxidation

Article Abstract:

Carbon nanotube (CNT) supported Pt nanoparticle catalysts SR-Pt were prepared by spontaneous reduction of Pt[Cl.sub.6][.sup.2-] ion by functional CNT defect. Compared with Pt catalysts prepared by hydrogen reduction and electrochemical deposition methods, Pt catalysts synthesized by functional CNT defects show excellent antipoisoning ability and long-term cycle stability.

Glycine interaction with carbon nanotubes: An ab initio study

Article Abstract:

The interaction of the glycine radical on the side walls of both armchair and zigzag single walled carbon nanotubes is investigated by density functional theory. It is found that the interaction potential of the N-centered glycine radical with the tubes has a minimum of 16.9 (armchair) and 20.2 (zigzag) kcal/mol with respect to the dissociation products.
