Ultra-pure single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) offer exceptional electrical conductivity, optimized high surface area, and superior mechanical strength. Designed for advanced applications, they ensure precise dispersion, extended stability, and high-performance adaptability.
Product Overview
Ultra-pure single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are one-dimensional nanomaterials composed of a single graphene layer rolled into a tube. Known for their exceptional electronic, mechanical, and physical properties, these nanotubes exhibit outstanding conductivity, mechanical strength, and flexibility. Manufactured using the floating catalytic chemical vapor deposition (FC-CVD) method, these SWCNTs ensure high purity and excellent structural control, making them ideal for applications in nanoelectronics, composite materials, and energy storage.
Key Features
- Floating Catalytic Method: The floating catalytic process enables precise control over the nanotube structure, including wall number, diameter, length, and conductivity.
- High Purity: The FC-CVD process minimizes catalytic particle contamination, produces smooth nanotube surfaces with minimal amorphous carbon, and ensures high purity.
- High Aspect Ratio: Due to their small diameter and long length, these SWCNTs offer superior flexibility and can form three-dimensional conductive networks even at low concentrations.
Applications
- Nanoelectronics: Due to their excellent conductivity and semiconducting properties, single-walled carbon nanotubes are widely used in the manufacture of nanoelectronic devices such as transistors and sensors.
- Composite Material Reinforcements: SWCNTs, with their exceptional strength and toughness, serve as reinforcing agents in composite materials, significantly enhancing their mechanical properties.
- Energy Storage Media: These nanotubes are utilized in lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, and other energy storage devices, improving energy storage efficiency and cycle life.
- Sensors: Leveraging their high sensitivity to gases and chemicals, SWCNTs are used to create highly sensitive sensors for environmental and industrial monitoring.
- Biomedical Nanomaterials: In biomedical applications, SWCNTs are employed for drug delivery, gene therapy, and other therapeutic purposes due to their unique properties.
