Carbon nanotube synthesis has evolved into a multidisciplinary field that combines materials science, chemistry and engineering. Various methods, including chemical vapour deposition (CVD) techniques, ...

Vapor-phase synthesis, a technique used to create very pure and scalable nanomaterials and coatings, has great promise for the electronic, optical, aerospace, energy and environment, and semiconductor ...

Vapor-phase synthesis makes pure, scalable nanomaterials for many industries. A new electrified vapor system works at atmospheric pressure, offering faster, cheaper, more versatile production.

In bottom-up fabrication, sheet graphene is grown on a metal substrate such as copper or nickel foil by heating hydrocarbon gases such as methane at around 1000°C. The metal substrate acts as a ...

The term "ALD" was first used around 2000. This technique achieves atomic layer control and conformal deposition through successive, self-limiting surface reactions. It involves introducing chemical ...
