Conductive and mesoporous single-wall carbon nanohorn/organic aerogel composites.
Conductive and mesoporous single-wall carbon nanohorn/resorcinol-formaldehyde aerogel composites were fabricated by embedding organic resorcinol-formaldehyde aerogels with single-wall carbon nanohorns. Samples were characterized with transmission electron microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption at 77 K, and direct-current volume electrical conductivity measurement. It was demonstrated that these composites have important properties, such as controllable nanoporosity and high electrical conductivity in the range of 10-4 S m-1, which enables many potential applications.
