Copper Carbon Nanotubes

Copper Carbon  Nanotubes are generally immediately available in most volumes. Additional technical, research, and safety (MSDS) information are available. Carbon Nanotubes are Single-Walled, Double Walled and Multi-Walled black nanoscale cylindrical tubes of graphitic carbon with numerous applications. Carbon Nanotubes are the stiffest and strongest known fibers and have unique electrical properties. When used as reinforcement fibers, carbon nanotubes can improve the quality and properties of metal, polymer, and ceramics.

Introduction and Applications

copper carbon nanotubes are a unique form of nanomaterial composed of cadmium (Cd) and selenium (Se) atoms arranged in a tubular structure at the nanoscale. These nanotubes are one-dimensional (1D) semiconductor nanostructures that combine the properties of a widely studied semiconductor material—with the unique geometric and physical properties of nanotubes.

CdSe is part of the II-VI semiconductor family, known for its optoelectronic properties, including the ability to absorb and emit light at specific wavelengths. When is structured into nanotubes, it opens up new possibilities in nano photonics, optical sensing, and electronics due to the enhanced properties of nanotubular geometries. These properties include a high surface-to-volume ratio, tunable optical characteristics, and increased surface reactivity.

Crystal Structure:

CdSe adopts a zinc-blende or wurtzite crystal structure, depending on the synthesis method and conditions. In the case of, the wurtzite structure is often preferred because of its superior electronic and optical properties.

The hollow tubular structure leads to interesting quantum confinement effects, especially for photonic and electronic properties.

Optical Properties:

CdSe nanotubes exhibit significant optical properties such as photoluminescence, fluorescence, and absorption in the visible and near-infrared regions of the spectrum.

The bandgap of is wide (around 1.7 eV) in bulk, but in nanotube form, the bandgap can become tunable depending on the tube’s size and geometry. This makes them suitable for optical sensing and light emission applications, as the emission wavelength can be adjusted by controlling the nanotube diameter.
