A flexible, transparent, single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) film electrode was prepared by vacuum filtering methods, followed by photolithographic patterning of a photoresist polymer on the SWCNT surface. The morphology of the SWCNT film electrode surface was characterized using a field-emission scanning electron microscope coupled to an energy-dispersive X-ray spectrophotometer. The electro...

Background & objectives: Xylene, which can pollute the water sources, is widely used as a solvent in insecticide manufacture, dye and leather and other industries. Adsorption is one of the most common processes used to treat the contaminated aqueous solutions by xylene. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the xylene removal efficiency and adsorption isotherms of magnetic nanoparticl...

In this study, we report a facile route to synthesize gelatin-based Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube (gelatin/SWCNT) nanocomposites using simple solution casting process and investigate the impact of SWCNT filler on structural, surface morphological, optical, electrical, thermal features. According Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy addition SWCNTs improves interaction between gelatin SWCNTs....

The thermal, electrical, and thermoelectric properties of aerogels of single-walled carbon nanotubes are characterized. Their ultralow density enables the transport properties of the junctions to be distinguished from those of the nanotubes themselves. Junction thermal and electrical conductances are found to be orders of magnitude larger than those found in typical dense SWCNT networks. In par...

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are widely explored for the ultrashort pulse generation in fiber lasers enabled by pronounced saturable absorption (SA) effect. Despite many remarkable results demonstrated area, degradation of samples inside laser cavity limits widespread use SWCNT-SA. In present work, we investigate mechanism measuring temperature an operating accordance with Raman G-ba...

This study reports on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) as templates for the preparation of 1D porous organic-inorganic hybrid composites. The in situ deposited SWCNT were sputter coated with Sn metal and thermally oxidized in air to form a SnO₂/SWCNT nanowire framework on SiO₂/Si substrate. Poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) was coated onto this scaffold through UV light-induced radical polymerizat...

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 article, numerical simulations of the rotational flow water-based magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) nanofluid containing single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) and hybrid single- multiple-wall (SWCNT-MWCNT) over a stretching sheet are performed. The primary goal is to improve thermal transport efficiency due CNTs extraordinary conductivity. 3D governing equations for microorganism concentration, e...

The exquisite structural and optical characteristics of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), combined with the tunable specificities of proteins and peptides, can be exploited to strongly benefit technologies with applications in fields ranging from biomedicine to industrial biocatalysis. The key to exploiting the synergism of these materials is designing protein/peptide-SWCNT conjugation s...

The electrochemical and electromechanical properties of actuators based on an ionic fluoropolymer (NafionTM) and non-ionic fluoropolymer (poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) [PVdF(HFP)]) gel fabricated using a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) – an ionic liquid (IL) gel electrode, were compared with those of actuators based on a non-ionic fluoropolymer (PVdF(HFP)). The ionic co...
