We report a numerical investigation on the catalytic growth mechanism of a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) inside a template SWNT, that is, formation of a double-walled carbon nanotube (DWNT). The molecular dynamics simulations together with complementary ab inito calculations suggest that the DWNT formation from…

The behavior of natural zeolites is important in any application that utilizes the gas adsorption properties of zeolites. Because of the large variety in the sizes of extraframework cavities and inter-cavity ports, the de/rehydration behavior varies considerably from zeolite to zeolite. Most zeolites have large extraf…

Use of liquid carbon dioxide (l-CO2) in the uniform and dense deposition of CuS, PbS, or CdS quantum dots (QDs) with 2.5−4.5 nm in diameter onto mesoporous TiO2 films for quantum dot sensitized solar cell (QDSSC) applications is described. The low surface tension and the low viscosity of l-CO2 lead to uniform depositi…
