Free-Standing Nitrogen-Doped Cup-Stacked Carbon Nanotube Mats for Potassium-Ion Battery Anodes
ACS Applied Energy Materials, 2018Free-standing nitrogen-doped cup-stacked carbon nanotube (NCSCNT) mats were synthesized and tested as anodes for potassium-ion batteries (KIBs). The edge-open structure character of the NCSCNTs allows a facile insertion of K+ ions into the carbon nanotubes.

Cup‐Stacked Carbon Nanotube Schottky Diodes for Photovoltaics and Photodetectors
Advanced Materials, 2014High performance optoelectronic devices based on cup-stacked carbon nanotubes are realized. Based on a Schottky barrier model, rectifying behaviors and high photoresponse are observed by using growth catalysts as nanoscale electronic contacts. Similar performances are also obtained and furthermore tuned by using nanotube’s defective surface as ...

Graphene unrolled from ‘cup-stacked’ carbon nanotubes
Carbon, 2012Abstract High quality graphene with a large area and smooth edges has been obtained by unrolling the so-called ‘cup-stacked’ carbon nanotubes (CSCNTs) by the solution-phase oxidation and reduction. Atomic force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy observations reveal that the obtained graphene layers can even have a size of 20 μm in width ...

A reversible strain-induced electrical conductivity in cup-stacked carbon nanotubes
Nanoscale, 2013We have used in situ current-voltage measurements of cup-stacked carbon nanotubes (CSCNTs) to establish reversible strain induced (compressive bending) semiconducting to metallic behavior. The corresponding electrical resistance decreases by two orders of magnitude during the process, and reaches values comparable to those of highly crystalline multi ...

Growth of a cup-stacked carbon nanotube carpet with a superhydrophobic surface
New Carbon Materials, 2013A carpet structure composed of high purity cup-stacked carbon nanotubes (CSCNTs) was synthesized by a catalytic chemical vapor deposition method. In a 15-min growth time, the CSCNT carpet with a height up to ∼300 μm and carbon purity above 99.9 wt.% was prepared.

A simple route to short cup-stacked carbon nanotubes by sonication
Carbon, 2010A simple but effective way of producing short cup-stacked carbon nanotubes with high quality is demonstrated using sonication in an ethanol/distilled water mixture. The substantial removal of amorphous carbon deposited on the truncated conical layer-stacked nanotubes by controlled air oxidation was a critical precondition to cut the nanotubes without ...

An environmentally friendly dispersion method for cup-stacked carbon nanotubes in a water system
Chemical Communications, 2010A dry process using VUV light was confirmed as a novel technique to attach functional groups onto cup-stacked carbon nanotubes and to develop their isolation in a water system without the use of dispersing agents.

Damping Properties of Cups-Stacked Carbon Nanotubes (CSCNTs)/RTM6 Composites
Advanced Materials Research, 2012Carbon nanotubes have better physical and mechanical behaviors than the traditional materials, in this study cups-stacked carbon nanotubes (CSCNTs) were filled into epoxy nancomposites to fabricate CSCNTs/epoxy nanocomposites. RTM6 was used by epoxy resin system. The cups-stacked carbon nanotubes (CSCNTs) were dispersed into the RTM6 matrix.

Water Confined in Hydrophobic Cup-Stacked Carbon Nanotubes beyond Surface-Tension Dominance
The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, 2019Water confined in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can exhibit distinctly different behaviors from the bulk. We report transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation of water phases inside hydrophobic cup-stacked CNTs exposed to high vacuum. Unexpectedly, we observed stable water morphologies beyond surface-tension dominance, including nanometer thin free ...
