Abstract
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are a promising material for advancing the field of materials. However, controlling the controlled growth of SWCNTs by conventional chemical vapor deposition or other growth processes remains challenging. Recent studies have shown that some progress has been made in the synthesis mechanism, catalysts and growth processes of SWCNTs, which makes the controlled growth of SWCNTs possible. This paper reviews the common SWCNTs, the synthesis process, and the applications. The paper firstly discusses the differences in the structure and properties of different types of SWCNTs and the related studies on these properties. Next, the paper discusses the mechanisms, catalysts, and growth processes used to synthesize SWCNTs, from experimental characterization to simulation analysis. Subsequently, the paper describes some applications of SWCNTs in popular fields such as functionalization, transistors, electrochemistry, and so on. Finally, a brief outlook on the challenges and future development of these SWCNTs in the research field is presented.
期刊介绍:
Carbon Letters aims to be a comprehensive journal with complete coverage of carbon materials and carbon-rich molecules. These materials range from, but are not limited to, diamond and graphite through chars, semicokes, mesophase substances, carbon fibers, carbon nanotubes, graphenes, carbon blacks, activated carbons, pyrolytic carbons, glass-like carbons, etc. Papers on the secondary production of new carbon and composite materials from the above mentioned various carbons are within the scope of the journal. Papers on organic substances, including coals, will be considered only if the research has close relation to the resulting carbon materials. Carbon Letters also seeks to keep abreast of new developments in their specialist fields and to unite in finding alternative energy solutions to current issues such as the greenhouse effect and the depletion of the ozone layer. The renewable energy basics, energy storage and conversion, solar energy, wind energy, water energy, nuclear energy, biomass energy, hydrogen production technology, and other clean energy technologies are also within the scope of the journal. Carbon Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of carbon science and technology.
