多壁碳纳米管流体速度传感器的实验研究

理论与实验研究发现碳纳米管在流体中存在一种电子拖曳现象，据此原理进行了多壁碳纳米管流体速度传感器的实验研究。实验中所用的碳纳米管是用热灯丝化学气相沉积法制备的。实验结果表明流动液体在多壁碳纳米管中诱导出的电流随流体速度的增加而增加，并与液体中离子浓度和温度密切相关。在室温下，当流体速度从0增加到10^-1m／s时，电流从0增加到51μA。碳纳米管中这种效应可作为一种新型的流体速度传感器。并对所得的结果进行了讨论。     

碳纳米管场发射冷阴极的低温制备及场发射性能

利用纳米银的低温熔接性和良好导电性,研究了以纳米银取代传统的有机粘结剂和导电银浆制备CNTs场发射冷阴极的新工艺.将CNTs、纳米银、粘性松油醇和有机溶剂混合研磨后涂敷在镀Cu玻璃基片上,250℃烧结30min后,纳米银颗粒之间互相熔接,将周围的CNTs粘结成为整体膜,形成了表面平整、导电性和场发射性能良好的CNTs阴极.测量了不同纳米银掺入量的CNTs阴极的场发射性能,结果表明:当CNTs:Ag质量比率为1:1时,CNTs阴极具有最好的场发射性能,阈值电场为4.9V/μm,当电场强度为5.7V/μm时,场发射电流密度为41mA/cm2.纳米银比例过大,烧结后CNTs被熔接的银膜覆盖,高电压时场发射电流明显下降,而纳米银掺入量太少则会导致CNTs阴极的附着力和导电性变差.     

Electrochemically Tuned Properties for Electrolyte‐Free Carbon Nanotube Sheets

Injecting high electronic charge densities can profoundly change the optical, electrical, and magnetic properties of materials. Such charge injection in bulk materials has traditionally involved either dopant intercalation or the maintained use of a contacting electrolyte. Tunable electrochemical charge injection and charge retention, in which neither volumetric intercalation of ions nor maintained electrolyte contact is needed, are demonstrated for carbon nanotube sheets in the absence of an applied field. The tunability of electrical conductivity and electron field emission in the subsequent material is presented. Application of this material to supercapacitors may extend their charge‐storage times because they can retain charge after the removal of the electrolyte.     

Thermoacoustic Emission from Carbon Nanotubes Imaged by Atomic Force Microscopy

The thermoacoustic effect of isolated single‐wall carbon nanotubes aligned between electrodes is experimentally observed for the first time by imaging the emitted acoustic wave using an atomic force microscopy‐based technique specifically developed for the task. The capability of such a technique for single‐point thermoacoustic measurements is first verified on carbon nanotubes layers with two electrodes for injecting alternate electric current. The technique is then demonstrated to allow the acquisition, simultaneously with the topography, of images reflecting the pressure of the acoustic wave at fixed distance from the sample. Such a capability is used to collect images reflecting the amplitude of acoustic waves generated by isolated nanotubes and nanotube bundles by the thermoacoustic effect.     

High‐Strength Laminated Copper Matrix Nanocomposites Developed from a Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotube Film with Continuous Reticulate Architecture

A critical challenge in nanocomposite fabrication by adding SWCNTs as reinforcement is to realize an effective transfer of the excellent mechanical properties of the SWCNTs to the macroscale mechanical properties of the matrix. Using directly grown SWCNT films with continuous reticulate structure as the template, Cu/SWCNTs/Cu laminated nanocomposites are fabricated by an electrodepositing process. The resulting Cu/SWCNTs/Cu laminated nanocomposites exhibit extremely high strength and Young's modulus. The estimated Young's modulus of the SWCNT bundles in the composite are between 860 and 960 GPa. Such a high strength and an effective load‐transfer capacity are ascribed to the unique continuous reticulate architecture of SWCNT films and the strong interfacial strength between the SWCNTs and Cu matrix. Raman spectroscopy is used to characterize the loading status of the SWCNTs in the strained composite. It provides a route to investigate the load transfer of SWCNTs in the metal matrix composites.

Metal‐Organic Frameworks Derived Nanotube of Nickel–Cobalt Bimetal Phosphides as Highly Efficient Electrocatalysts for Overall Water Splitting

The design of highly efficient, stable, and noble‐metal‐free bifunctional electrocatalysts for overall water splitting is critical but challenging. Herein, a facile and controllable synthesis strategy for nickel–cobalt bimetal phosphide nanotubes as highly efficient electrocatalysts for overall water splitting via low‐temperature phosphorization from a bimetallic metal‐organic framework (MOF‐74) precursor is reported. By optimizing the molar ratio of Co/Ni atoms in MOF‐74, a series of Cox Niy P catalysts are synthesized, and the obtained Co4Ni1P has a rare form of nanotubes that possess similar morphology to the MOF precursor and exhibit perfect dispersal of the active sites. The nanotubes show remarkable hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalytic performance in an alkaline electrolyte, affording a current density of 10 mA cm^?2 at overpotentials of 129 mV for HER and 245 mV for OER, respectively. An electrolyzer with Co4Ni1P nanotubes as both the cathode and anode catalyst in alkaline solutions achieves a current density of 10 mA cm^?2 at a voltage of 1.59 V, which is comparable to the integrated Pt/C and RuO₂ counterparts and ranks among the best of the metal‐phosphide electrocatalysts reported to date.     

A Paradigm of Carbon Nanotube Interconnects in Microelectronic Packaging

Carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays/films were transferred onto copper substrates via eutectic tin/lead (SnPb) solder pastes. The morphologies, thermal stabilities, adhesion to substrates, and electrical properties of the as-transferred CNT arrays were studied. The CNT arrays generated negligible expansion or contraction below 250°C. The adhesion of CNT arrays to the substrate was significantly improved by the transfer process. An ohmic contact was formed between the transferred CNT arrays and the Sn-Pb solder. Four-probe electrical measurements yielded the resistance of the as-transferred CNT films under the electrode to be around 0.0056 Ω, from which the resistivity of each individual CNT tube was calculated to be 2.44 × 10⁻⁴ Ω cm.
