An apparatus for manufacturing carbon nanohorns includes a production chamber configured to irradiate a solid carbon material with a laser beam to produce a product containing carbon nanohorns; and a separation mechanism configured to separate the product produced in the production chamber into a lightweight component and a heavyweight component. The heavyweight component includes carbon nanohorn aggregate with high purity, and high-purity carbon nanotubes can be obtained by collecting the heavyweight component.

A contrast agent characterized in that each of carbon nanohorns forming a carbon nanohorn aggregate has an opening at the side wall or tip, wherein a metal M (at least one metal selected from among paramagnetic metals, ferromagnetic metals, and superparamagnetic metals) or a compound of the metal M is incorporated in or dispersed on each of the carbon nanohorns. A contrast agent characterized in that it contains a Gd oxide. There is provided a contrast agent, which can be mass-produced easily, and satisfies the requirement of low toxicity and enables microscopic diagnoses when used for MRI. A contrast agent characterized in that is contains a carbon nanohorn aggregate.
摘要:
A carbon nanohorn (CNH) is oxidized to make an opening in the side of the CNH. A substance to be included, e.g., a metal, is introduced through the opening. The inclusion substance is moved to a tip part of the carbon nanohorn through heat treatment in vacuum or an inert gas. The CNH is further heat treated in an atmosphere containing oxygen in a low concentration to remove the carbon layer in the tip through catalysis of the inclusion substance. This exposes the inclusion substance. If the inclusion substance is a metal which is not moved to a tip part by the heat treatment in vacuum or an inert gas, the carbon part surrounding the fine catalyst particle is specifically burned by a heat treatment in an low oxygen concentration atmosphere, while utilizing the catalysis. Thus, the fine catalyst particle is fixed to the tip part of the CNH.

A method of manufacturing a acute tip, multi-wall carbon nanotube radial aggregate, comprising the steps of leading a graphite rod into plasma flame generated in a hydrogen-added inert gas atmosphere to evaporate carbon from the graphite rod and stacking, on the surface of the graphite rod, the acute tip, multi-wall carbon nanotube radial aggregation of novel carbon nano-structure useful as field emission electron sources such as probes for STM and APM, display elements, and displays.
摘要:
Methane or hydrogen are adsorbed by passing the substance through one or more openings provided in a wall part of a carbon-nanohorn aggregate. The carbon-nanohorn aggregate forms a self-locking carbon adsorbent. The substance passes through the one or more openings in one limited direction from the outside to the inside of the carbon nanohorn aggregate in isothermal or isobaric adsorption.
