Three-Dimensionally Enlarged Photoelectrodes by a Protogenetic Inclusion of Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotubes into CH3NH3PbBr3 Single Crystals

László Forró, Endre Horvath, Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Xavier François Mettan, Bálint Náfrádi, Márton Kollár, Pavao Roko Andricevic, Klara Hernadi

We demonstrate that single crystals of methylammonium lead bromide (MAPbBr(3)) could be grown directly on vertically aligned carbon nanotube (VACNT) forests. The fast-growing MAPbBr3 single crystals engulfed the protogenetic inclusions in the form of indiv ...

The critical role of the underlayer material and thickness in growing vertically aligned carbon nanotubes and nanofibers on metallic substrates by chemical vapor deposition

Donatello Acquaviva

Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes and nanofibers are grown on metallic Ta and Pd underlayers at temperatures below 500°C. Controlling the size of the grains of the underlayer film is critical because this leads to a more uniform distribution of catalyst ...
