High-quality single-crystal ZnO nanowire arrays with diameter ranging from 30 to 110 nm were synthesized using a two-step process: (1) synthesis of ZnO thin film by sol-gel technique, which was used as seed layer, and (2) oriented ZnO nanowire arrays were grown on ZnO seed layer using a hydrothermal reaction process at a low temperature of 90 degrees C. Experimental results reveal an ultrahigh sensitivity of similar to 98% to 100 ppm of H-2 gas and 93% to 200 ppm of CO gas, an ultrafast recovery of 1 to 2 ms to CO gas with high repeatability. The current transients demonstrate the reversible type sensing to reducing gas (H-2 or CO) detection using as grown ZnO nanowire arrays sensor. The hydrothermally grown ZnO nanowire-array-based gas sensors may have potential application in industry without much modification.

Iridium-Catalyzed Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Synthesis by Alcohol-Gas-Source Method Under Low Ethanol Pressure: Growth Temperature Dependence

Daiki Yamamoto, Shusaku Karasawa, Kamal Prasad Sharma, Takahiro Saida, Shigeya Naritsuka, Takahiro Maruyama

Summary: This study investigates the growth of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) using an Ir-catalyzed gas-source-type cold-wall chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. The results show that the ethanol pressure and growth temperature have significant effects on the yield and morphology of SWCNTs. The optimized ethanol pressure allows for growth of SWCNTs at temperatures between 500°C and 800°C, with vertically aligned SWCNTs obtained at 700°C and 800°C. The estimated activation energy for SWCNT growth using an Ir catalyst is found to be smaller than that with a Co catalyst.

Summary: This study investigates the use of carbon spheres as a catalyst support in polymer electrolyte fuel cells. The carbon spheres promote diffusion and improve platinum utilization by supporting highly dispersed platinum nanoparticles. The study finds that the platinum utilization rate and oxygen reduction reaction activity are enhanced with the use of carbon spheres as the catalyst support.

Vertically aligned growth of small-diameter single-walled carbon nanotubes on flexible stainless steels by alcohol catalytic chemical vapor deposition with Ir catalyst on alumina buffer layer

Shu Kondo, Daiki Yamamoto, Kamal Prasad Sharma, Yazid Yaakob, Takahiro Saida, Shigeya Naritsuka, Masaki Tanemura, Takahiro Maruyama

Summary: In this study, SWCNTs were successfully grown on flexible stainless-steel foils with diameters distributed below 1.1 nm. By using an Ir catalyst with an alumina buffer layer of 90 nm thickness, vertically aligned SWCNTs with a thickness of 4.6 µm were achieved. This method proves to be more cost effective and easier to scale up for mass production of small-diameter SWCNTs compared to conventional CVD growth on Si wafers.

In situ XAFS study of the chemical state of a Co catalyst during single-walled carbon nanotube growth under conventional growth conditions using alcohol catalytic chemical vapor deposition

Shusaku Karasawa, Kamal Prasad Sharma, Daiki Yamamoto, Takahiro Saida, Shigeya Naritsuka, Takahiro Maruyama

Summary: In this study, in situ X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy was used to analyze the behavior of cobalt catalysts during the growth of single-walled carbon nanotubes by alcohol catalytic chemical vapor deposition. The results showed that cobalt catalysts prepared from cobalt acetates consisted of both oxides and carbides, which were reduced at temperatures up to 800℃. Upon addition of ethanol, the cobalt catalysts gradually transformed into carbides. This indicates that cobalt catalysts are mainly composed of carbides formed during SWCNT growth under conventional growth conditions.

Summary: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can greatly enhance the thermal properties of ceramic matrix composites. By introducing CNTs into zinc silicate (ZS), the thermal transport parameters of the ceramic can be improved. However, at a CNTs mass fraction of 3.0 wt%, the surface hardness and thermal diffusivity of the composite decreased by 90.3% and 72.1% respectively, while the AC conductivity increased by 10^5 times.

Single-walled carbon nanotube growth from Ni catalyst particles under conventional growth conditions by alcohol catalytic chemical vapor deposition: in situ X-ray absorption fine structure study

Shusaku Karasawa, Takahiro Saida, Kamal Prasad Sharma, Shigeya Naritsuka, Takahiro Maruyama

Summary: In situ X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) analysis was conducted on Ni catalysts during the growth of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) via alcohol catalytic chemical vapor deposition (ACCVD). The Ni catalysts gradually underwent reduction and became metallic at the growth temperature (800 degrees C). When ethanol was added during SWCNT growth, the Ni catalysts underwent slight carbonization, similar to what was observed with Ir catalysts in a previous study. These findings demonstrate the growth of SWCNTs from nearly metallic catalysts using Ni catalysts under conventional ACCVD growth conditions. The results obtained from in situ XAFS analysis were consistent with atomistic computer simulations.
