Abstract:
We developed a novel anti-agglomeration method that enables preservation of the vertical alignment of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) during desiccation of wet CNTs by utilizing antisolvent precipitation and sublimation of naphthalene (Nap). Moreover, we succeeded in depositing Pt nanoparticles onto CNTs without collapse of the vertically aligned morphology by this method.
