Graphene and carbon nanotubes are unique carbon-only structures. Graphene is an extremely thin, flat material, like a tiny sheet of paper. It’s an excellent conductor of electricity, so electricity travels through it fast. Carbon nanotubes are little tube-shaped structures built out of carbon. They’re light as a feather but far stronger than steel. These materials help enhance […]

Development in science and technology was made possible by carbon nanotubes (CNTs). They can conduct heat and electricity and offer resistance. They also might not be able to bear a load or conduct electricity. If they are to accomplish anything good, they must be arranged. Unordered CNTs have low efficiency when compared to ordered CNTs. […]

As the new energy vehicle and energy storage markets mature, the performance requirements for lithium-ion batteries are gradually increasing. This drives lithium-ion battery technology to upgrade to high energy density and safety. Conductive agents are the components of lithium batteries, and upgrading lithium batteries also requires higher performance of conductive agents. Carbon nanotubes are one-dimensional […]

Carbon-based materials have transformed the world with their incredible properties. Carbon fibers and carbon nanotubes are the most widely used among those materials. Each of them has unique properties, strengths, and weaknesses. Although both share the same origin, what sets them apart, and which is truly superior? This is the burning question when choosing between […]

Have you ever wondered about tiny materials that measure in the billionths of a meter? How are these materials so small yet strong enough to potentially build an elevator to space? Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are exactly that kind of remarkable material. These microscopic tubes of carbon atoms are one of the most significant discoveries […]

Single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes have some similarities and key differences. SWCNTs are made of sp2 hybridized carbon, like fullerenes. They form cylindrical tubes with carbon rings. MWCNTs are similar but have many tubes inside one another. These tubes can stack in 6 to 25 layers. SWCNTs are small, with diameters of 0.7–2.0 nm. MWCNTs […]

Exhibition Introduction The 24th Nano Tech, Japan International Nanotechnology Exhibition, will be held at Tokyo Exhibition Hall, Japan, from January 29 to 31, 2025. The exhibition is the largest and most authoritative nanotechnology exhibition in Japan. Each exhibition’s results are inspiring. Researchers and professional visitors worldwide will attend this event and communicate with leading exhibitors […]

Carbon nanotubes are one of the greatest inventions of science. They are used in construction, electronics, and medicines. What makes them more popular is their unique properties. They are durable, lightweight, and conductors. However, if you believe all carbon nanotubes are the same, you might be wrong. There are two major types of carbon nanotubes […]

What are carbon nanotubes? Carbon nanotubes are cutting-edge materials that have unique properties and wide-ranging applications. This guide will explore their properties, types, synthesis methods, and applications. What Are Carbon Nanotubes? Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are cylindrical structures made of carbon atoms. These atoms are arranged in a hexagonal pattern, similar to a honeycomb lattice. The […]

In 1991, Sumio Iijima first observed the clear structure of carbon nanotubes using a high-resolution transmission electron microscope. Afterward, carbon nanotubes gained attention for their excellent properties in optics, mechanics, electromagnetism, and thermodynamics. This has also set off a wave of research on carbon nanotube manufacturing. How to manufacture carbon nanotubes? This article explores the […]
