Growth of CNT Forests on Titanium Based Layers, Detailed Study of Catalysts

László Forró, Endre Horvath, Pavao Roko Andricevic

For better electrical contacts of potential devices, growth of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (CNT forests) directly onto conductive substrates is an emerging challenge. Here, we report a systematic study on the CCVD synthesis of carbon nanotube fores ...

Three-Dimensionally Enlarged Photoelectrodes by a Protogenetic Inclusion of Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotubes into CH3NH3PbBr3 Single Crystals

László Forró, Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Bálint Náfrádi, Endre Horvath, Márton Kollár, Pavao Roko Andricevic, Xavier François Mettan, Dóra Fejes-Kajtár

We demonstrate that single crystals of methylammonium lead bromide (MAPbBr(3)) could be grown directly on vertically aligned carbon nanotube (VACNT) forests. The fast-growing MAPbBr3 single crystals engulfed the protogenetic inclusions in the form of indiv ...

Comparison of Two Different Carbon Nanotube-based Surfaces with Respect to Potassium Ferricyanide Electrochemistry

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Irene Taurino

This paper describes the electrochemical investigation of two multi-walled carbon nanotube-based electrodes using potassium ferricyanide as a benchmark redox system. Carbon nanotubes were fabricated by chemical vapor deposition on silicon wafer with campho ...

Tunable MEMS capacitors using vertical carbon nanotube arrays grown on metal lines

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Montserrat Fernandez-Bolanos Badia, Donatello Acquaviva

In this work, tunable MEMS capacitors are realized using a vertically grown carbon nanotube array. The vertical CNT array forms an effective CNT membrane, which can be electrostatically actuated like the conventional metal plates used in MEMS capacitors. T ...

Synthesis of carbon nanotubes and characterization of nanotubes as atomic force microscopy tips

Yanki Keles

This thesis describes the synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and the evaluation of them as tips of atomic force microscope (AFM) probes. Both arc-discharge and CVD grown nanotubes were investigated as AFM tips. Two meth ...
