The structural properties and characteristics of date palm fiber-based low-cost carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and nanostructured powder activated carbon (DP-NPAC) are investigated. The DP-NPAC and CNTs are prepared using an environmentally friendly method, and characterized and analyzed using field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results have showed that both DP-NPAC and CNTs possess crystallite structure, nano-scale, high capacity, cost-effective for multi-application that make them efficient for future fabrication and manufacturing. It is supposed that DP-NPAC biomass is to be used as potential and cost-effective precursor for synthesized CNTs.
研究了枣椰纤维基低成本碳纳米管(CNT)和纳米结构粉末活性炭(DP-NPAC)的结构特性。采用环保方法制备了DP-NPAC和CNT,并使用场发射扫描电子显微镜(FESEM)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)和X射线衍射(XRD)对其进行了表征和分析。结果表明,DP-NPAC和CNT均具有微晶结构、纳米尺度、高容量、成本效益高且适用于多种应用,这使得它们在未来的制造中具有高效性。据推测,DP-NPAC生物质将用作合成CNT的潜在且具有成本效益的前驱体。
