Aminated Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs-NH₂)

Product Overview
Aminated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-NH₂) are carbon nanotubes that have been modified with amino (-NH₂) groups on their surface. This chemical modification significantly enhances the chemical reactivity and surface properties of the nanotubes, broadening their potential applications in various fields. The preparation process includes amide coupling of carboxylated carbon nanotubes, followed by high-temperature decarbonylation. The aminated treatment not only improves the dispersion of these nanotubes but also boosts their performance in catalysis and biomedical applications.

Key Features

• Enhanced Chemical Reactivity: The introduction of amino groups creates additional chemical reaction sites on the surface, facilitating further functionalization.
• Improved Dispersion: The amino groups improve the dispersion of the carbon nanotubes in solution, aiding in their uniform dispersion in nanocomposites.
• Increased Biocompatibility: The aminated carbon nanotubes exhibit better biocompatibility, making them suitable for biomedical applications.
• Excellent Catalytic Performance: Amination improves the catalytic activity of multi-walled carbon nanotubes, making them ideal as catalyst carriers.

Applications

• Energy: Used in battery materials, photocatalysts, and other applications with great potential in energy storage and conversion.
• Catalysis: Acts as a catalyst or catalyst carrier with important applications in chemical industries and environmental protection.
• Biomedical: Shows unique advantages in drug delivery and biosensors, with wide applications in the biomedical field.
