Tuning of Nafion® by HKUST-1 as coordination network to Enhance Proton Conductivity for Fuel Cell Applications

Kim H.-J., Talukdar K., Choi S-J, Kyungpook National University, KR

MOFs have highly ordered structures and modular nature that can serve as a scaffold to anchor acidic groups and improve efficient proton transfer pathways. HKUST-1, a MOF material containing CuII–paddle wheel type nodes and 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate [...]

Role of interlayer interaction in the mechanical properties of a multi- walled carbon nanotube and a single-walled carbon nanotube bundle

Talukdar K., Mitra A.K., National Institute of Technology, Durgapur, IN

Molecular dynamics simulation is performed on a SWCNT bundle made up of four (5, 5) SWCNTs and on an armchair MWCNT taking Brenner’s 2nd generation reactive empirical bond order potential. The interlayer interaction in the [...]

Effect of Position and Orientation of Stone-Wales Defects on the Fracture Behavior of a Zigzag Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube

Talukdar K., Mitra A.K., NIT Durgapur India, IN

A (10, 0) SWCNT of length 42.59 Å and aspect ratio 10.9 is studied by Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation both in perfect condition and also with one, two, three or four SW defects introduced into [...]

The role of Stone-Wales defects in the mechanical behavior of a zig-zag SWNT

Talukdar K., Mitra A.K., National Institute Of Technology, IN

A (5,0) SWNT with aspect ratio of 10.87 is simulated considering two different potentials, viz. Brenner’s Bond Order potential and Tight Binding potential. At first the Young’s modulus, failure stress and the maximum strain value [...]
