A superaligned carbon nanotube (CNT) array is a special kind of vertically aligned CNT
array with the capability of being converted into continuous films and yarns. The as …

Catalysing the reduction of oxygen in acidic media is a standing challenge. Although activity
of platinum, the most active metal, can be substantially improved by alloying, alloy stability …

Sulfide-based solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are considered a key part in the realization of
high-performance all solid-state lithium-ion batteries (ASSLIBs). However, the incompatibility …

We report controlled syntheses of super-aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays with the
desired tube-diameter, number of walls, and length for spinning continuous unidirectional …

Diagnostic sensing device using exhaled breath of human have critical advantages due to
the noninvasive diagnosis and high potential for portable device with simple analysis …

The work function of carbon nanotubes might depend on their diameters and the number of
walls, and be different for their tips and sidewalls. Here we report the work function …

The effective work functions (ϕ+, ϕe and ϕ−) for positive-ionic, electronic, and negative-ionic
emissions from mono-and polycrystalline surfaces are surveyed comprehensively and also …

The discovery of drawable carbon nanotube forests opened up the possibility of constructing
a wide range of pure carbon nanotube macrostructures and sparked interests in developing …
