| Additional Information | Track CodeP10040 IR #M04-049 SummaryLead Inventors: Stephen Paul O'Brien Method of preparation of single-walled carbon nanotubes using cobalt and molybdenum doped mesoporous silica catalysts. A catalyst that includes mesoporous silica, cobalt and molybdenum is affixed to the surface of a substrate. The catalyst-containing substrate is heated for a preset time and at a temperature sufficient to calcine the catalyst. The calcined catalyst is contacted with a flow of carbon feedstock gas to make a single- walled carbon nanotube. The methods offer higher degree of control over the orientation, length and diameter of the nanotubes produced.
