Electrochemistry of Multi Wall Carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)
29 October 2007With the discovery of fullerenes, new research areas related to various nanomaterials were explored by the scientists all over the world. After a short span of time, carbon nanotubes including single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multi wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were synthesized. The applications of these nanomaterials are being explored and research throughout the globe is being carried out.
Multi wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) show high electrical conductivity and excellent mechanical strength. Various scientists have carried out number of studies for measuring CV of the freshly prepared nanotube films. Sometimes a functional group is also attached to one side of the nanotube film and it enables the quick and easy measurement of the Cv across multi wall carbon nanotubes.
On the basis of high electrical conductivity of these multi wall carbon nanotubes, special materials can be prepared. In general inorganic materials, fullerenes or metals are filled in these carbon nanotubes to form nanoreactors. These additional materials further enhances the electrical properties and therefore find many applications.
