in this paper, the effect of surface area of reaction layers in gas diffusion electrodes on oxygen reduction reaction was investigated. for this purpose, various amounts (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and zero %wt of total loading of reaction layer) of single walled carbon nanotube (swcnt) were inserted in the reaction layer. the performance of gas diffusion electrodes for oxygen reduction re...

in this paper we have down three theoretical study by using monte carlo simulation and mm+,amber and opls force field. the calculations were carried out using hyper chem professional,release 7.01 package of program. first we have studied the interaction of h2 molecule and he atomwith single-walled carbon nanotube at different temperature. for doing this study we placed h2 andhe in the center an...

The integration of low-dimensional materials with optical waveguides presents promising opportunities for enhancing light manipulation in passive photonic circuits. In this study, we investigate the potential aerosol-synthesized single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) films silicon nitride circuits as a basis developing integrated optics devices. Specifically, by measuring response SWCNT-covered ...

single walled nanotubes (swnt) are common interested nanovehicle to make biosensors more sensitive.carbon nanotubes (cnts) have many distinct properties make them to be exploited to develop the nextgeneration of such nano sensors .the keto-enol tautomerization is one of the most common investigatedsubjects of isomerism in this regards, sensors are devices that are able to detect and change the ...

We present atomic-scale, video-rate environmental transmission electron microscopy and in situ time-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of surface-bound catalytic chemical vapor deposition of single-walled carbon nanotubes and nanofibers. We observe that transition metal catalyst nanoparticles on SiOx support show crystalline lattice fringe contrast and high deformability before and durin...

Abstract Since much attention has been paid to the targeted drug delivery system, using molecular dynamics simulation, present work devoted clarify potential of silicon carbide nanotubes (SiCNTs) as a new carrier for three common anti-cancer drugs temozolomide, carmustine, and cisplatin. Three zigzag single-walled with different diameters, i.e. SiC(18,0), SiC(20,0), SiC(22,0), in pure decorated...

The nature and dynamics of bonding between Fe, Ru, Os, and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) is studied by aberration-corrected high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (AC-HRTEM). The metals catalyze a wide variety of different transformations ranging from ejection of carbon atoms from the nanotube sidewall to the formation of hollow carbon shells or metal carbide within the SWNT,...

Single-walled carbon nanotubes have been integrated into silicon for use in vertical carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNTFETs). A unique feature of these devices is that a silicon substrate and a metal contact are used as the source and drain for the vertical transistors, respectively. These CNTFETs show very different characteristics from those fabricated with two metal contacts. Surp...

An important issue in nanopore sensing is to construct stable and versatile sensors that can discriminate analytes with minute differences. Here we report a means of creating nanopores that comprise ultrashort single-walled carbon nanotubes inserted into a lipid bilayer. We investigate the ion transport and DNA translocation through single-walled carbon nanotube nanopores and find that our resu...
