Carbon nanohorns, as-grown

C

12.01

Single-walled carbon nanohorns are made of graphene sheets with long cone-shaped tips with the diameters of 2-5 nm and the length of 40-50 nm. Thousands of carbon nanohorns form spherical aggregates of about 100 nm in diameter.

• Uniform size
• High dispersion
• High purity, no metallic compound
• Large surface area
• Utilization of internal space in carbon nanohorn

• Energy management system:

Capacitor (good discharge rate, high capacity)
Fuel cell (Good support materials for catalyst metal such as platinum)

• Medical: Carrier containing the anticancer drug.
• Gas adsorption: Adsorption of highly reactive gas.
• Compound material: Additive for characteristic improvement (improve electrical properties).
