METHODS OF PREPARING CATALYSTS FOR THE CHIRALLY SELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF SINGLE-WALLED CARBON NANOTUBES

摘要

Methods of preparing a sulfur-containing catalyst for the chirally selective synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes are presented. Sulfur-containing catalysts for the chirally selective synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes, the catalysts comprising sulfur-doped transition metal as active phase on a support, and methods of forming single-walled carbon nanotubes having a selected chirality using the catalysts are also presented.
