Carbon nanotubule membranes for electrochemical energy storage and production
TL;DR: In this paper, template-synthesized carbon tubules are fabricated as free-standing nanoporous carbon membranes, and a narrower, highly ordered graphitic carbon nanotubes can be prepared within the membrane's tubules.

Metal-Nanocluster-Filled Carbon Nanotubes: Catalytic Properties and Possible Applications in Electrochemical Energy Storage and Production
TL;DR: In this paper, a template-synthesized carbon tubule is used to construct a monodisperse graphitic carbon nanotubule membrane, which can then be filled with nanoparticles of electrocatalytic materials (i.e., Pt, Ru, Pt/Ru).
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal Reduction Route to the Fabrication of Coaxial Zn/ZnO Nanocables and ZnO Nanotubes
TL;DR: In this paper, a good epitaxial relationship between the Zn core and ZnO shell was observed, and misfit dislocations were observed at the interface, which accommodated the relatively large lattice mismatch.
Journal ArticleDOI

Capillarity-induced filling of carbon nanotubes
Pulickel M. Ajayan,Sumio lijima +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe experiments in which annealing of the tubules in the presence of liquid lead results in opening of the capped tube ends and subsequent filling of the tubes with molten material through capillary action.

A simple chemical method of opening and filling carbon nanotubes
TL;DR: In this article, a general method that allows carbon nanotubes to be opened at the end and filled with a variety of metal oxides using wet chemical techniques is described, which might find applications in catalysis, separation and storage technology and in the development of materials with new magnetic and electrical properties.

High-Rate, Gas-Phase Growth of MoS2 Nested Inorganic Fullerenes and Nanotubes
TL;DR: The gas-phase reaction between MoO3-x and H2S in a reducing atmosphere at elevated temperatures (800� to 950�C) has been used to synthesize large quantities of an almost pure nested inorganic fullerene (IF) phase of MoS2, obtaining a uniform IF phase with a relatively narrow size distribution.
