Explanation

Carbon nanotube, silicon nanotube, inorganic nanotube and nitriding nanotube are one-dimensional tubular nanostructures. Carbon nanotube are composed of carbon atoms, and there are two types of single-walled carbon nanotube and multi walled carbon nanotube. They have excellent mechanical, electrical and chemical properties, and can be used in electronic materials, hydrogen storage materials, polymer mechanical reinforcement materials and other fields. The preparation methods of carbon nanotubes include arc discharge, laser ablation, chemical vapor deposition, solid phase pyrolysis, glow discharge, gas combustion and polymerization reaction synthesis. Silicon nanotube are composed of silicon atoms, which have a wide range of electronic industry and Li ion battery application prospects. Inorganic nanotube are usually composed of metal oxides or sulfides, such as WS2, MoS2, SnS2, TiO2, ZnO, etc. They can be used as substitute materials for carbon nanotube, and have the advantages of easy synthesis, high crystallinity, uniformity, adjustable conductivity, good adhesion and impact resistance. These characteristics make inorganic nanotubes suitable for polymer composite materials to enhance the thermal, mechanical and electrical properties of polymer. nitriding nanotube are made of nitriding single-layer curls, similar to carbon nanotube, but they are insulators. In the aerospace field, nitriding nanotube have broad application prospects.
