    摘要: Single walled carbon nanotubes are produced in a novel apparatus by the laser-induced ablation of moving carbon target. The laser used is of high average power and ultra-fast pulsing. According to various preferred embodiments, the laser produces an output above about 50 watts/cm2 at a repetition rate above about 15 MHz and exhibits a pulse duration below about 10 picoseconds. The carbon, carbon/catalyst target and the laser beam are moved relative to one another and a focused flow of “side pumped”, preheated inert gas is introduced near the point of ablation to minimize or eliminate interference by the ablated plume by removal of the plume and introduction of new target area for incidence with the laser beam. When the target is moved relative to the laser beam, rotational or translational movement may be imparted thereto, but rotation of the target is preferred.

    摘要: The present invention is directed towards a method of producing single wall carbon nanotubes which comprises providing a catalyst comprising an alumina support and a component selected from the group consisting of reduced Fe, reduced Fe/Mo, Fe oxide, and Fe/Mo oxide, and growing, in an inert atmosphere, single wall carbon nanotubes by passing a gas comprising methane over the catalyst at a temperature and for a time sufficient to grow single wall carbon nanotubes. The invention is also directed towards a single wall carbon nanotube produced by such a method. The invention is also directed towards a catalyst for producing SWNTs, wherein the catalyst comprises an alumina support and a component selected from the group consisting of reduced Fe, reduced Fe/Mo, Fe oxide, and Fe/Mo oxide.

    摘要: The present invention generally relates to methods and apparatus for the synthesis or preparation of boron-doped single-walled carbon nanotubes (B-SWCNTs). The invention provides a high yield, single step method for producing large quantities of continuous macroscopic carbon fiber from single-wall carbon nanotubes using inexpensive carbon feedstocks wherein the carbon nanotubes are produced by in situ boron substitutional doping. In one embodiment, the nanotubes disclosed are used, singularly or in multiples, in power transmission cables, in solar cells, in batteries, as antennas, as molecular electronics, as probes and manipulators, and in composites. It is another object of this invention to provide macroscopic carbon fiber made by such a method.
