What are Carbon Nanotubes ?• Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) are allotropes of
carbon. These cylindrical carbon molecules have interesting properties that make them
potentially useful in many applications in nanotechnology, electronics, optics and other fields of materials science, as well as potential
uses in architectural fields. They exhibit extraordinary strength and unique electrical
properties, and are efficient conductors of heat. Their final usage, however, may be limited by
their potential toxicity.

Discovery
They were discovered in 1991 by the Japanese electron microscopist Sumio Iijima who was studying the material deposited on the cathode during the arc-evaporation synthesis of fullerenes. He found that the central core of the cathodic deposit contained a variety of closed graphitic structures including nanoparticles and nanotubes, of a type which had never
previously been observed

The way to find out how the carbon atoms are arranged in a molecule can be done by joining the vector coordinates of the atoms. By this way it can be identified whether if the carbon atoms are arranged in a zig-zag, armchair or in a helical shape.

Nanotubes are formed by rolling up a graphene sheet into a cylinder and capping each end with half of a fullerene molecule. Shown here is a (5, 5) armchair nanotube (top), a (9, 0) zigzag nanotube (middle) and a (10, 5) chiral nanotube. The diameter of the nanotubes depends on the values of n and m.

•
Arc discharge methodConnect two graphite rods to a power supply, place them millimeters apart,
and throw switch. At 100 amps, carbon vaporizes in a hot plasma.
Can produce SWNT and MWNTs with few structural defects
Tubes tend to be short with random sizes and directions
![Page 11: application of carbon nano tube in chromatography](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052505/5550153cb4c905af648b4bca/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Chemical vapor deposition
Place substrate in oven, heat to 600 C, and slowly add a carbon-bearing gas
such as methane. As gas decomposes it frees up carbon atoms, which recombine in the form of NTs
Easiest to scale to industrial production; long length
NTs are usually MWNTs and often riddled with defects
![Page 12: application of carbon nano tube in chromatography](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052505/5550153cb4c905af648b4bca/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Laser ablation (vaporization)
Blast graphite with intense laser pulses; use the laser pulses rather than electricity to
generate carbon gas from which the NTs form; try various conditions until hit on one that produces prodigious amounts of SWNTs
Primarily SWNTs, with a large diameter range that can be controlled by varying the reaction
temperature By far the most costly, because requires
expensive lasers

Electrical Properties• If the nanotube structure is armchair then the
electrical properties are metallic
• If the nanotube structure is chiral then the electrical properties can be either semiconducting with a very small band gap, otherwise the nanotube is a moderate semiconductor
• In theory, metallic nanotubes can carry an electrical current density of 4×109 A/cm2 which is more than 1,000 times greater than metals such as copper
![Page 16: application of carbon nano tube in chromatography](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052505/5550153cb4c905af648b4bca/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Thermal Properties• All nanotubes are expected to be very good thermal
conductors along the tube, but good insulators laterally to the tube axis.
• It is predicted that carbon nanotubes will be able to transmit up to 6000 watts per meter per Kelvin at room temperature; compare this to copper, a metal well-known for its good thermal conductivity, which transmits 385 watts per meter per K.
• The temperature stability of carbon nanotubes is estimated to be up to 2800oC in vacuum and about 750oC in air.

•SWCNTswith a diluted solution of IL under controlled temperature. In thisway, when IL is immobilized on the inner wall of the SWCNTcapillary column, the nanotubes assist IL forming a network-likestructure. This improves the column chromatographic propertiesdue to the higher surface area available to analytes
