Researchers Triple Carbon Nanotube Yield with Chemical Vapor Deposition
MOSCOW, Nov. 30, 2023 — Scientists at Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech) have found a way to increase the yield of single-walled carbon nanotube film production. The materials are promising for solar cells, LEDs, flexible and transparent electronics, smart textiles, medical imaging, toxic gas detectors, filtration systems, and more. By adding hydrogen gas and carbon monoxide to the reaction chamber, the team managed to almost triple carbon nanotube yield compared to growth promoters, without
