About this document

Carbon Nanotubes in pH Meter & Nanowire Fabrication by Daniel Corzo is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document discusses the preferential opening of carbon nanotube ends by nitric acid due to greater strain and reactivity at the ends compared to sidewalls. It then provides two examples of applications using this knowledge: (1) A carbon nanotube pH meter that detects changes in current when drops of different pH solutions are placed on functionalized nanotubes. (2) The fabrication of vanadium oxide nanowires by functionalizing carbon nanotube ends with acid to facilitate polymerization and condensation o
