Nano technology Carbon nanohorn The Carbon Nanohorn (CNH) is ready for commercial shipment now. The CNH is a potential material for energy devices, drug delivery system and others. Properties Applications Practicality ■Large surface area ■Energy devices ■High dispersion The surface area of platinum particles can be increased by using CNH. Fuel cells, capacitors Higher dispersity than carbon nanotube. ■Produce nanoscale windows ■Medical service ■Performance control Openings, through which substances are introduced, can be made on the side wall of CNH by heating in an oxygen atmosphere. ■Uniform size CNH has uniform diameter of 50150nm and a high degree of affinity for a wide variety of materials. Drug delivery system ■Composite material Coating materials Performance of CNH is controlled by size and numbers of holes according to temperature and length of heating. ■High purity, High security There is no catalyst inside CNH Ｓａｍｐｌｅ http://www.nec.com/en/global/prod/cnh/ Carbon nanohorn Specification •Diameter : 2-5 nm •Diameter of aggregates : 50-150 nm •Specific surface : 400 m 2/g •Hydrophobic property Weight (%) As-grown CNH property 1.0 TGA 80 Impurities (Graphite :5-15% ,metallic compound : 0%） 0.8 0.6 60 Graphite impurities 40 0.4 0.2 0.0 20 0 1.2 Carbon nanohorn 100 As-grown CNH -0.2 O2、10ºC/min 0 200 400 600 800 -0.4 1000 Temperature (ºC) CNHox ハ二ング Impurities (graphite : 5-15%, metallic compound :0%) Vol adsorbed (cc/g STP) 900 CNHox property 800 N2 adsorption isotherm 700 600 CNHox 500 400 300 200 CNH 100 0 0.0 •Diameter : 2-5 nm •Diameter of aggregates : 50-150 nm •Specific surface 1300-1400 m2/g •Hydrophilic property 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 Relative pressure (P/P0) 2.0 1.5 CNHox 3 dV/d (log d) (cm /g) pore-distribution 1.0 0.5 CNH 0.0 0 2 4 6 8 10 Diameter (nm) Order Unit ハ二ング As-grown CNH CNHox (1g, 10g, 100g) (1g, 10g, 100g) Please contact us at the following address NEC Corporation Global Products and Services Development Division 21-6, Shiba 5 chome, Minato-Ku, Tokyo 108-8001, Japan E-Mail : [email protected] ●The actual color may differ slightly from the pictures shown.
