Synthesis of the Novel Porous Carbon Nanotubes

Abstract:

Synthesis of porous carbon nanotubes using the anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) template method, by decomposing sucrose on AAO, was reported. The surface area of the porous carbon nanotubes calculated by the BET method was 375 m2•g-1. The porous carbon nanotubes would be expected to have a potential application in the field of catalyst supports, hydrogen storage material and new nano-devices.
