Short SWCNTs
Potential applications of carbon nanotubes are:
Introduction:
Short SWCNTs are a type of carbon nanotube with a single cylindrical structure made of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. Unlike long SWCNTs, short SWCNTs have relatively small lengths, typically ranging from a few nanometers to a few micrometers, and are characterized by their high surface area, excellent electrical conductivity, and mechanical strength.
Applications
Nanoelectronics:
Transistors: can be used to fabricate nanoscale transistors for faster, smaller, and more efficient electronics.
Conductive Films: Due to their excellent electrical conductivity, are used in transparent conductive films for displays, touchscreens, and solar cells.
Energy Storage:
Supercapacitors and Batteries: are incorporated into supercapacitors and batteries to improve their energy storage capacity, power density, and charge/discharge cycles.
Lithium-Ion Batteries: They serve as conductive additives in lithium-ion batteries, enhancing their performance.
Composite Materials:
Reinforcement in Polymers: are used to strengthen composite materials, such as polymers and resins, improving their mechanical and electrical properties without adding significant weight.
Lightweight Structural Materials: Due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, they are used in aerospace and automotive industries to create lighter and stronger components.
Sensing and Biosensing:
Chemical Sensors: Short SWCNTs are highly sensitive to various gases and chemicals, making them ideal for chemical sensing applications. They are used in environmental monitoring, safety systems, and medical diagnostics.
Biosensors: SWCNTs are also functionalized for use in biosensors to detect specific biomolecules, such as proteins or DNA, for medical diagnostics.
Nanomedicine:
Drug Delivery: Short SWCNTs can be functionalized to carry and deliver drugs to specific sites in the body, providing targeted therapy for diseases like cancer.
Imaging and Diagnostics: Due to their unique optical and electrical properties, short SWCNTs are also used in bioimaging and diagnostic applications.
