  • CNT pastes with different inorganic binder such as glass frit and spin on glass (SOG) were synthesized by using multi-walled nanotube (MWNT) grown by CVD. The uniformity of cathode layer after firing was enhanced and the emission current density at an applied field of 7.95V/${\mu}m$ increased from 133${\mu}A$/$cm^2$ to 265${\mu}A$/$cm^2$ when inorganic binder changed from glass frit to SOG. The emission properties of CNT pastes with SOG were stable and uniform although firing was carried out at relatively high temperature of 450$^{\circ}C$ under air. It is concluded that SOG is more suitable inorganic binder than glass frit for field emission application.

  • Nanocomposites of metal (gold and silver) nanoparticles and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were prepared with the assistance of various stabilizers for metals and MWNTs. Especially common surfactants such as poly(4-vinylpyridine) (PVP), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), poly(sodium 4-styrene sulfonate) (PSS), and poly(diallyldimethylammonium) chloride (PDDA) were used for the sample preparation. Metal/MWNT nanocomposites were structurally characterized in by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), x-ray diffraction (XRD), UV/Vis spectroscopy. In addition, the electrical properties of the nanocomposites were studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV).

  • In the present study, the effect of oxyfluorination treatment on multi-walled nanotubes (MWNTs) supports was investigated by analyzing surface functional groups. The surface characteristics were determined by Fourier transformed-infrared (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). After the deposition of platinum nanoparticles on the above treated carbon supports, a crystalline size and a loading level had been investigated. Electrochemical properties of the treated MWNTs-supported Pt (Pt/MWNTs) catalysts were analyzed by current-voltage curve measurements. From the results of surface analysis, an oxygen and fluorine-containing functional group had been introduced to the surface of carbon supports. The oxygen and fluorine contents were the highest value at the treatment of 100 temperature. The Pt/100-MWNTs showed the smallest particle crystalline size of 3.5 nm and the highest loading level of 9.4% at the treatment of 100 temperature. However, the sample treated at the higher temperature showed the larger crystalline size and the lower loading level. This indicated that the crystalline size and the loading level could be controlled by changing the temperature of oxyfluorination treatment. Accordingly, an electrochemical activity was enhanced by increasing the temperature of treatment upto 100, and then decreased in the case of 200 and 300. The highest specific current density of 120 mA/mg had been obtained in the case of Pt/100-MWNTs.

  • The synthesis and characterization of catalysts supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs). $Pt/Au/TiO_2$ is added to a CNTs(cabon nano tube) carbon support to improve the performance of a direct methanol fuel cell. XRD and SEM showed that uniform anatase $TiO_2$ and Pt/Au particles were about 200 nm and 20${\sim}$25 nm in diameter. The composite catalyst activities were measured by cyclic voltammetry (CV), demonstrating that it is more promising for use in fuel cells.
