Gas-to-nanotextile: high-performance materials from floating 1D nanoparticles
Isabel Gómez-Palos, Miguel Vazquez-Pufleau, Richard S Schäufele +4
Suspended in the gas phase, 1D inorganic nanoparticles (nanotubes and nanowires) grow to hundreds of microns in a second and can be thus directly assembled into freestanding networ…
Composite fabrics of conformal MoS2 grown on CNT fibers: tough battery anodes without metals or binders
Moumita Rana, Nicola Boaretto, Anastasiia Mikhalchan +3
In the quest to increase battery performance, nanostructuring battery electrodes gives access to architectures with electrical conductivity and solid-state diffusion regimes not ac…
Identification of Collapsed Carbon Nanotubes in High-Strength Fibres Spun from Compositionally Polydisperse Aerogels
Maria Vila, Seungki Hong, Seunggyu Park +4
Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) of sufficiently large diameter and a few layers self-collapse into flat ribbons at atmospheric pressure, forming bundles of stacked CNTs that maximize packi…
Simultaneous improvements in conversion and properties of molecularly controlled CNT fibres
Anastasiia Mikhalchan, María Vila, Luis Arévalo +1
Fibres of ultralong and aligned carbon nanotubes (CNT) have axial properties above reference engineering materials, proving to be exceptional materials for application in structura…
Understanding cooperative loading in carbon nanotube fibres through in-situ structural studies during stretching
J. C. Fernández-Toribio, A. Mikhalchan, C. Santos +2
Carbon nanotube (CNT) fibres are firmly established as a new high-performance fibre, but their tensile mechanical properties remain a relatively small fraction of those of the cons…
A Perspective on High-performance CNT fibres for Structural Composites
A. Mikhalchan, J. J. Vilatela
This review summarizes progress on structural composites with carbon nanotube fibres. It starts by analyzing their development towards a macroscopic ensemble of elongated and align…
A Route to High-Toughness Battery Electrodes
N. Boaretto, J. Almenara, A. Mikhalchan +2
There is increasing interest in materials that combine energy-storing functions with augmented mechanical properties, ranging from flexibility in bending to stretchability to struc…
