A carbon nanohorn carried material for producing a carbon nanotube by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, including a catalytic metal or a compound thereof contained inside carbon nanohorns or supported on exterior walls of the carbon nanohorns is provided. A carbon nanotube is produced by a CVD reaction using the carbon nanohorn carried material. A novel technical means for producing a carbon nanotube which does not use any noncarbon type carrier, can easily collect and purify the carbon nanotube and can control the length of the carbon nanotube can be provided.
摘要:
A nanocarbon aggregate including a graphite aggregate including a graphene sheet having a petal shape and a nanohorn. The petal-shaped graphite aggregate achieves a reduction in the particulate size and a higher dispersibility by allowing the edge of the petal shape to locally absorb a metal, a metal complex and a metal oxide. The nanocarbon aggregate is used for a catalyst support.

Provided are a method of forming pores in a graphitic carbon nanomaterial and a method of introducing an oxygen-containing group into the pores, in which the rate of pore formation in the wall of a graphitic carbon nanomaterial can be heightened and the amount of the oxygen-containing group, especially the carboxyl group to be introduced can be significantly increased. The method of forming pores in a graphitic carbon nanomaterial of the invention is characterized by forming pores in the wall of a graphitic carbon nanomaterial in the presence of an oxidizing agent while the nanomaterial is irradiated with a light from a light source including a light having a wavelength at which the oxidizing agent is activated.
摘要:
A plume (109) is generated by irradiating a side face of a graphite rod (101) with a laser beam (103) to vaporize carbon. The vaporized carbon is introduced to a carbon nanohorn recovery chamber (119) through a recovery pipe (155), and the vaporized carbon is recovered as a carbon nanohorn assembly (117). A cooling tank (150) including liquid nitrogen (151) is arranged in the recovery pipe (155). While the cooling tank (150) controls the plume (109) at a low temperature, the cooling tank (150) cools the carbon vapor when the carbon vapor passes through the recovery pipe (155). The cooled carbon vapor is recovered as the carbon nanohorn assembly (117) which is controlled in the desired shape and dimensions.
