Pt-Ru nanoparticles Supported on MWCNT as PEM fuel cell Electrocatalysts

Valenzuela-Muñiz A.M., Miki-Yoshida M., Botte G.G., Verde Y., Centro de Investigación en Materiales Avanzados S.C., MX

Support plays an important role in catalyst activity. Small particle size in catalysts provides a high contact area between active phase and the reagents, having as consequence a better activity. Multi Wall Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT) [...]

Multifunctional Electrodes Based on MWNTs Sheets and Yarns

Carretero-González J., dela Cruz M.E., Fang S., Ferraris J.P., Baughman R.H., The University of Texas at Dallas, US

Solid-state fabricated carbon MWNTs sheets and yarns exhibit very high electrochemically accessible surface area, which combine with their high electronic conductivity and useful mechanical properties to make these materials attractive candidates for supercapacitor and artificial [...]

MWCNTS Production by Means of Pyrolysis of Polyethylene-Terephtalate in a Bubbling Fluidized Bed

Mastellone M.L., Arena U., Second University of Naples, IT

A bubbling fluidized bed reactor having 102mmID and realised in AISI 316L stainless steel has been used as pyrolyser under different operating conditions. The reactor has been operated at fixed fluidising velocity (U=0.16m/s) and at [...]

Toxicogenomics study of nanomaterials on the model organism zebrafish

Rojo I., Uriarte M., Obieta I., Bustero I., Egizabal A., Pardo M.A., Martínez de Ilárduya O., Azti-Tecnalia, ES

The applications of nanomaterials include fields as biomedicine, cosmetics or food science, raising a concern about the need to determine their toxic effects. Most of the toxicity tests are based on the analysis of classical [...]
