Direct observation of carbon nanostructures growth using in-situ ultrahigh vacuum transmission electron microscopy

Foo Y.L., Lin M., Tan J.P.Y., Boothroyd C.B., Tok E.S., Institute of Materials Research and Engineering, SG

The growth dynamics of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) is observed in real-time using an in-situ ultra-high vacuum transmission electron microscope at 650 oC. The SWNTs preferentially grow on smaller sized catalyst particles (diameter ≤ 6 [...]

ZnO Nanoparticles Beaded Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes

Zhu Y., Elim H.I., Foo Y.L., Triparthy S., Quek W.T., Ji W., Thong J., Sow C.H., National University of Singapore, SG

In this work, we report a hybrid system of ZnO nanoparticles on MWNT scaffolds synthesized via a very simple and straightforward process. This involved the coating of pure Zn on as-grown aligned MWNT films, followed [...]
