ANCHORED NANOSTRUCTURE MATERIALS AND BALL MILLING METHOD OF FABRICATION
摘要
Anchored nanostructure materials and methods for their fabrication are described. The anchored nanostructure materials may utilize nano-catalysts that are formed by mechanical ball milling of a metal powder. Nanostructures may be formed as anchored to the nano-catalyst by heating the nanocatalysts and then exposing the nano-catalysts to an organic vapor. The nanostructures are typically single wall or multi-wall carbon nanotubes.
