Solubilization of Carbon Nanotubes with Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate for Solution-Processed Conductive Films and Charge Extraction Layers in Perovskite Solar Cells
摘要: Carbon nanotube (CNT) solubilization via non-covalent wrapping of conjugated semiconducting polymers is a common technique used to produce stable dispersions for depositing CNTs from solution. Here, we report the use of a non-conjugated insulating polymer, ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), to disperse multi- and single-walled CNTs (MWCNT and SWCNT) in organic solvents. We demonstrate that despite the insulating nature of the EVA, we can produce semitransparent films with conductivities of up to 34 S/cm. We show, using photoluminescence spectroscopy, that the EVA strongly binds to individual CNTs, thus making them soluble, preventing aggregation, and facilitating the deposition of high-quality films. To prove the good electronic properties of this composite, we have fabricated perovskite solar cells using EVA/SWCNTs and EVA/MWCNTs as selective hole contact, obtaining power conversion efficiencies of up to 17.1%, demonstrating that the insulating polymer does not prevent the charge transfer from the active material to the CNTs.

Time stability of carbon nanotube gas sensors
摘要: In this communication, we report on the long-term stability of a carbon nanotube (CNT) thin-film based NH3 gas sensor. These sensors were fabricated with a reproducible, large-scale, low-cost spray deposition process and are examined in terms of NH3 sensitivity and long-term stability. The devices are measured directly after fabrication; 1-year and 4-years post fabrication while being stored in ambient conditions without further encapsulation. The retainment of up to 96% of response demonstrates the stability of such CNT-based devices. Hence, it solves a critical issue for stepping beyond the proof of concept stage. Not only can CNT-based gas sensors be utilized for years, but such sensors also do not require any special recalibration over the years.

Carbon Nanotube-Supported Cu <sub/>3</sub> P as High-Efficiency and Low-Cost Cocatalysts for Exceptional Semiconductor-Free Photocatalytic H <sub/>2</sub> Evolution
摘要: Developing an inexpensive and high-efficiency hydrogen-production cocatalyst to replace the noble metal Pt remains a big challenge in the fields of sustainable photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. Herein, we report the exploration of a high-efficient binary noble metal free Cu3P-CNT H2-evolution cocatalyst by direct high-temperature phosphatizing of Cu(OH)2-CNT. Impressively, combining the advantages of noble metal free Cu3P and carbon nanotube (CNT), the binary Cu3P-CNT cocatalysts show high-efficient photocatalytic H2 evolution in Eosin Y(EY)-contained semiconductor-free photocatalytic systems. The maximum visible-light H2-generation rate for promising EY-Cu3P-CNT systems was 17.22 mmolg-1h-1. The highest apparent quantum efficiency (AQE) could reach 10.23% at 500 nm. More importantly, we found that the separation of photogenerated electrons and holes in the Eosin Y, the efficiency of electron transfer from EY to the active edge sites of Cu3P, and the electrocatalytic H2-evolution activity of Cu3P, could be simultaneously boosted via readily adding the conductive CNT, thus achieving the significantly improved photocatalytic H2 evolution. This work provides a simple and facile strategy to design highly efficient semiconductor-free photocatalytic proton-reduction systems using high-activity transition metal phosphides (TMPs) and inexpensive carbon nanomaterials.

Effects of carbon nanotube thermal conductivity on optoacoustic transducer performance
摘要: CNT-PDMS composite is regarded as a promising candidate for optoacoustic transducer application. However, the relationship between the CNT thermal conductivity and optoacoustic transducer performance is still unde?ned. To explore this relationship, four types of CNTs with different diameters and lengths were employed to successfully fabricate four types of optoacoustic transducers. The thermal properties of CNTs were analyzed and discussed in this paper; the laser-generated ultrasound and optoacoustic conversion ef?ciency of the transducers were experimentally and theoretically investigated. Results of comparison revealed the CNT with a diameter and length of 8 nm and 10e30 mm, respectively, to have the highest thermal conductivity. With this type of CNT/PDMS composite, the optoacoustic conversion ef?ciency reached as high as 9.59 (cid:1) 10-3. Overall, the results demonstrate that higher CNT thermal conductivity corresponds to better optoacoustic transducer performance.

2D reentrant micro-honeycomb structure of graphene-CNT in polyurethane: High stretchability, superior electrical/thermal conductivity, and improved shape memory properties
摘要: The recent rapid development of soft electronics and wearable technology has demanded materials with the function of combining mechanical deformation and electronics. Particularly, materials simultaneously having memory shape characteristics in which mechanical deformation repeatedly occurs in response to stimulus, high stretchability and excellent electric/heat transfer characteristics are interesting actuator materials in future applications. As a stretchable and conductive platform, we fabricated a reentrant micro-honeycomb structure from graphene-CNT, which had structural stretchability due to the accordion-like reentrant structure and continuous conductive paths in the vertical and horizontal directions. To impart shape memory properties, we fabricated composites by simply infiltrating shape memory polyurethane (SMPU) into a stable graphene/CNT framework. Our resulting reentrant micro-honeycomb graphene-CNT/SMPU composites simultaneously exhibited a relatively low resistivity of 5 Ω cm, a change in resistance of less than 10% in the 50% stretching/releasing states, long term stability, and superior tensile shape memory properties, including 95.6% shape fixity and a 90.6% recovery ratio. Regularly distributed graphene-CNT structures offer heterogeneous nucleation sites and undisturbed crystal growth in neat SMPU pillars, resulting in superior shape memory properties. We also constructed a circuit with portable batteries to demonstrate that our reentrant graphene-CNT/SMPU composite offers potential applications as an emergency circuit breaker.

Novel Iron-oxide Catalyzed CNT Formation on Semiconductor Silicon Nanowire
摘要: An aqueous ferric nitrate nonahydrate (Fe(NO3)3.9H2O) and magnesium oxide (MgO) were mixed and deposited on silicon nanowires (SiNWs), the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) formed by the concentration of Fe3O4/MgO catalysts with the mole ratio set at 0.15:9.85 and 600°C had diameter between 15.23 to 90nm with high-density distribution of CNT while those with the mole ratio set at 0.45:9.55 and 730°C had diameter of 100 to 230nm. The UV/Vis/NIR and FT-IR spectroscopes clearly confirmed the presence of the silicon-CNTs hybrid structure. UV/Vis/NIR, FT-IR spectra and FE-SEM images confirmed the silicon-CNT structure exists with diameters ranging between 15-230nm. Thus, the study demonstrated cost effective method of silicon-CNT composite nanowire formation via Iron-oxide Catalyze synthesis.

Ellipsometric Analysis of Aligned Carbon Nanotubes for Designing Catalytic Support Systems
摘要: Vertically aligned CNT carpets combined with inorganic semiconductors are expected good prospect in practical applications, especially in photocatalysis. If these devices are in production, a fast and non-invasive characterization method will be required. Ellipsometry is widely used in industry as an in-line monitoring tool, so in this study the applicability of ellipsometry for characterizing CNT carpets is investigated. It is shown that ellipsometric evaluation can provide information about the density and the optical properties of the nanotubes; however, the properties of the individual nanotubes (diameter, wall number) can not be taken into account during ellipsometric modeling. To overcome these limitations, numerical simulations are also presented.

Impact paint sensor based on polymer/multi-dimension carbon nano isotopes composites
摘要: We presented a novel impact paint sensor made of piezoresistive nano-carbon composites and studied its characteristics. The paint sensors were fabricated with multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT), exfoliated graphite nano-platelets (xGnP), and a hybrid type of the two nano-carbon fillers and were sprayed onto a carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) panel for lab testing. In ball drop impact test, the MWCNT-xGnP-based hybrid sensor showed the best characteristics in impact energy sensing within the range 0.07-1.0J. We also studied the piezoresistive mechanism due to dimensional variations of nano carbon isotopes for sensor design. Piezorestivity of nano-carbon sensor was significantly dominated the electrical contact variation of the electrical fillers in a matrix. This study is expected to provide a feasibility test for designing impact paint sensors with optimized sensitivity for a composite structural health monitoring (SHM).

[IEEE 2018 31st International Vacuum Nanoelectronics Conference (IVNC) - Kyoto, Japan (2018.7.9-2018.7.13)] 2018 31st International Vacuum Nanoelectronics Conference (IVNC) - High-frequency photocathode based on CNT-yarn emitter and GaAs photoswitch
摘要: A high frequency photocathode based on a carbon nanotube (CNT)-yarn in series to a semi-insulating (s.i.) GaAs was fabricated and used for field electron emission in a diode configuration. This hybrid two-chip technology allows the separate optimization of the yarn emitter and the photoswitch. This concept can overcome the capacitance limitations of miniaturized high-frequency vacuum tubes. The used CNT yarn emitter with 20 μm diameter had a threshold electric fields of ~1.8 V/μm (defined at 1mA/cm2) with a stable field emitter current up to 400 μA. The high-voltage photomodulation was up to 100 MHz.
