Abstract

A simple method to fabricate parallel and/or crossed networks of ultra-long single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) arrays based on carbon monoxide-chemical vapor deposition (CO-CVD) by a “fast-heating” growth process is reported. The catalysts which are water-soluble inorganic molecular clusters containing Fe and Mo atoms can be easily “drawn” on the substrate by an ink pen using the cluster solution as “ink” or transferred by micro-contact printing (μCP) using poly (dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) elastomer stamp onto substrate. The as-grown SWNTs are millimetres in length with diameters ranging from 0.7 to 2.0 nm and with controllable location and direction. Multi-dimensional crossed-networks of SWNTs can be easily fabricated by multi-step growth processes. Patterning catalysts using water-soluble clusters can be compatible with ink-jet printing techniques for generating large-area well-oriented and precisely-located SWNTs. We have also demonstrated that the ease of patterning and growing aligned nanotube arrays provides a reliable way to fabricate nanotube electronic devices.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
