Fluorescent carbon nanoparticle (CNP) having 2-6 nm in size with quantum yield of about ~3% were synthesized via nitric acid oxidation of carbon soot and this approach can be used for milligram scale synthesis of these water soluble…
A constant increase in the need of clean energy demands more innovation from the research community. Active and stable materials that can make use of the solar radiation to promote different reactions are the cornerstone of emerging…
We present a simple and scalable technique for the fabrication of solution processed & local gated carbon nanotube field effect transistors (CNT-FETs). The approach is based on directed assembly of individual single wall carbon nanotube…
The nucleation and growth of single wall carbon nanotubes from a carbon-saturated catalytic particle surrounded by a single sheet of graphene is described qualitatively by using a very restricted number of elementary processes, namely…
This work presents BioPykrete, a new sustainable bio-composite material created from ice, nano-crystalline cellulose (CNC), and a tailor-made chimera protein designed to bind the two together. We developed and produced the chimera protein…
A climate mitigation comprehensive solution is presented through the first high yield, low energy synthesis of macroscopic length carbon nanotubes (CNT) wool from CO2 by molten carbonate electrolysis, suitable for weaving into carbon…
C2CNT (Carbon dioxide to carbon nanotube) cement plants have been introduced and analyzed which provide a significant economic incentive to eliminate the massive CO2 greenhouse gas emissions of current plants and serves as a template for…
The formation of graphen-nanotube composites addresses a few basic problems. First, both partners are good donors and acceptors of electrons, which significantly complicates the intermolecular interaction between them leading to a two-well…
The sheet samples of thermally exfoliated graphite (TEG) carbon nanotubes (CNT) composites (TEG CNT cs) were obtained by persulphate oxidation using chemical (CO) and electrochemical (anode) oxidation (ECAO). Electron microscopy reveals…
Filamentous cyanobacteria, forming long strands of connected cells, are one of the earliest and most successful forms of life on Earth. They exhibit self-organised behaviour, forming large-scale patterns in structures like biomats and…
Most polymers are long-lasting and produced from monomers derived from fossil fuel sources. Bio-based and/or biodegradable plastics have been proposed as a sustainable alternative. Amongst those available, polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) shows…
Inspired by chains of ferrimagnetic nanocrystals (NCs) in magnetotactic bacteria (MTB), the synthesis and detailed characterization of ferrimagnetic magnetite NC chain-like assemblies is reported. An easy green synthesis route in a…
Large-scale practical applications of fullerene (C60) in nanodevices could be significantly facilitated if the commercially-available micrometer-scale raw C60 powder were further processed into a one-dimensional (1D) nanowire-related…
Graphyne nanotubes (GNTs) are nanostructures obtained from rolled up graphyne sheets, in the same way carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are obtained from graphene ones. Graphynes are 2D carbon-allotropes composed of atoms in sp and sp2 hybridized…
Carbon nanotubes bridge the molecular and crystalline quantum worlds, and their extraordinary electronic, mechanical and optical properties have attracted enormous attention from a broad scientific community. We review the basic principles…
Materials that are strong, ultra-light weight and tough are in demand for a range of applications, requiring architectures and components carefully designed from the micrometer down to nanometer scales. Nacre-a structure found in many…
We study the effects of covalent functionalization of single wall carbon nanotubes (CNT) on their elastic properties. We consider simple organic molecules -NH, -NH2, -CH2, -CH3, -OH attached to CNTs' surface at various densities. The…
Interaction between carbon nanomaterials and micellar substrates is studied. A notable observation is the dependence of nano-surface topology on thermodynamic signatures of the carbon nanomaterials e.g., single wall carbon nanotube (SWNT),…
Photonic crystal nanocavities are used to enhance photoluminescence from single-walled carbon nanotubes. Micelle-encapsulated nanotubes are deposited on nanocavities within Si photonic crystal slabs and confocal microscopy is used to…
A parametric study of so-called "super growth" of single-walled carbon nanotubes(SWNTs) was done by using combinatorial libraries of iron/aluminum oxide catalysts. Millimeter-thick forests of nanotubes grew within 10 min, and those grown by…
