| Abstract |
Uniform multiwalled carbon nanotubes can be synthesized using one-dimensional
nanochannels of an aluminum anodic oxide film as a template. This technique allows one to
prepare various types of unique carbon nanotubes. It is possible to prepare carbon nanotubes with a
double coaxial structure of heteroatom-doped multiwalls. Test tube like carbon prepared by this
technique was found to be dispersible in water without any post treatment. Moreover, a large
carbon film with millions of carbon nanopillars on its one side was synthesized and it was
demonstrated that such carbon film could be used as a corrosion-resistant but electrochemically
active film electrode. In addition to these morphological control, complete filling of ferromagnetic
metal into the whole cavity of carbon nanotubes was achieved by the template technique. |
