The electrolyte switchable solubility of multi-walled carbon nanotube/ionic liquid (MWCNT/IL) hybrids.
In this communication we report the first preparation of ionic liquid-modified carbon nanotubes with reversibly switchable solubility between aqueous and organic solvents, induced by anion exchange.
متن کاملActivity, stability and degradation of multi walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) supported Pt fuel cell electrocatalysts.
Understanding and improving durability of fuel cell catalysts are currently one of the major goals in fuel cell research. Here, we present a comparative stability study of multi walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) and conventional carbon supported platinum nanoparticle electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The aim of this study was to obtain insight into the mechanisms controllin...
متن کاملRadial Breathing Mode Frequency of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube Via Multiple-Elastic Thin Shell Theory
In this paper, the radial breathing mode (RBM) frequencies of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are obtained based on the multiple-elastic thin shell model. For this purpose, MWCNT is considered as a multiple concentric elastic thin cylindrical shells, which are coupled through van der Waals (vdW) forces between two adjacent tubes. Lennard-Jones potential is used to calculate the vdW ...
متن کاملIL-33 mediates inflammatory responses in human lung tissue cells.
IL-33 is a member of the IL-1 family and mediates its biological effects via the ST2 receptor, which is selectively expressed on Th2 cells and mast cells. Although polymorphic variation in ST2 is strongly associated with asthma, it is currently unclear whether IL-33 acts directly on lung tissue cells at sites of airway remodeling. Therefore, we aimed to identify the IL-33-responsive cells among...
متن کاملTheoretical Study on the Chemical Reactivity in the Armchair Single-walled Carbon Nanotube: Proton and Methyl Group Transfer
Proton transfer (PT) and methyl group transfer (MGT) occurring in small biomimetic systems, Formamide-Formamidic acid (FA-FI), and N-formyl-N-methylformamide-(E)-methyl N-formylformimidate (NMFA-NMFI) are investigated in the gas phase and in single-walled carbon nanotubes by using the density functional theory and the ONIOM approach. It is shown that PT reaction is disfavoured in single-walled ...
