一、语篇泛读Even if you’re a couch potato like me, you’ll know the benefits of running - pounding the pavements, working up a sweat, burning off some calories and generally keeping fit. But if you’re a real fitness junkie, the ultimate running challenge is to take part in a marathon.It seems every major city and town aro und the world hosts an annual marathon, with thousands of athletes running a gruelling 42.1 kilometers. Whilst many runners’ motivation is to beat their personal best and cross the finishing line without collapsing, they’re also doing it for a good cause– to generate funds for charity. But like other major events, the marathon also generates a massive carbon footprint. Thousands travel - some by plane - to the location, and waste from food packaging and goody bags gets left behind by spectators and runners. For example, during the London Marathon in 2018, 47,000plastic bottles were collected, although some were recycled.This is becoming a big issue for cities –how to host a worthwhile event, encouraging people to exercise and help charities, whilst protecting the environment? Several cities have developed formal plans to reduce their environmental impact and promote sustainable ideas. One event in Wales, for example, introduced recycling for old running kit and ethically sourced the race t-shirts.It’s something that this year’s London Marathon tried to tackle by reducing the number of drink stations on the running route, giving out water in paper cups and offering some drinks in edible seaweed capsules. They also trialed new bottle belts made from recycled plastic so 700 runners could carry water bottles with them during their run.

However,DMFCs strongly depend on the use of Pt electrocat-alyst for effective oxygen reduction and Pt–Ru electrocatalyst for methanol fuel electrooxidation.The use of binary or multi-component electrocatalysts for methanol electrooxidation is to solve the catalyst poisoning problems caused by CO and other reaction intermediates under low temperature reaction condi-tions.Conventionally,highly conductive carbon blacks,such as Vulcan XC72(Cabot)and Shawinigan(Chevron),with high surface areas are used as supports for electrocatalysts to ensure large electro-reaction surfaces and good electronic conduction. Although such carbon black-supported electrocatalysts have exhibited moderate performances on DMFCs so far,new elec-∗Corresponding author.Tel.:+88634711400x5038;fax:+88634711410.E-mail address:ccchien@.tw(C.-C.Chien).trocatalyst carbon supports,such as carbon spheres[1],graphite nanofibers[2],carbon nanohorns[3]and carbon nanotubes [4–6],are actively being sought with attempts to significantly improving fuel cell performances.In particular,more and more carbon nanotubes(CNT)have been investigated[7–11]recently as advanced electrocatalyst supports due to their distinctive characteristics.Although several preparation methods are feasible,most CNT-supported electro-catalysts reported so far were prepared using chemical reduction deposition methods.A variety of common reducing agents,e.g. HCHO,HCOOH,NaBH4,NaH2PO2,N2H4,etc.,can be used to convert metal ions into metal particles and deposit onto CNT surfaces.However,Lordi et al.[12]were thefirst to report successful preparation of nanosized Pt particles supported on single-walled CNT as a heterogeneous catalyst using a polyol process.At present,reductive preparation of CNT-supported electro-catalysts using ethylene glycol(EG)as a reducing agent seems to be the most popular approach[4–7].In such a polyol process, CNTs were generallyfirst subjected to oxidation pre-treatment [12]using a strong acid,such as HNO3or mixture of HNO30254-0584/$–see front matter©2005Elsevier B.V.All rights reserved. doi:10.1016/j.matchemphys.2005.09.080C.-C.Chien,K.-T.Jeng/Materials Chemistry and Physics99(2006)80–8781and H2SO4,solution so as to remove impurities and generate sufficient amounts of functional groups,such as OH,COOH, C O,etc.,on the surfaces.These surface functional groups have stronger attraction forces toward metal ions than bare carbon nanotube surfaces and some even have ion exchange capabilities,such as carboxylic acid groups.Therefore,they are believed to work as metal-anchoring sites in order to facilitate metal nuclei formation and electrocatalysts deposition.In fact, this process is somewhat similar to electroless deposition that requires some imperfect sites on the substrate surfaces to anchor and hold the reduced metals.However,EG is only a mild reducing agent requiring a long reaction time for involved reduction reactions to go to comple-tion even for the preparation of Pt/CNT.Its reducing strength, or power,may be strong enough for reduction of Pt ions but a little bit too weak for the reduction of Ru ions.In addition,in the preparation of Pt–Ru/CNT difficulties arise that Pt and Ru ions cannot be reduced simultaneously at the same pH of the reac-tion solution with competitive reduction rates using EG alone. For example,a high pH value(pH>13)of the EG solution was reported to be favorable for Pt formation on CNT[4]but this is,in fact,not an acceptable condition for Ru formation.It was found in our experiments that once the pH of the EG solution is adjusted to a value higher then4undesirable precipitates,includ-ing Ru(OH)3,of Ru salts appear.The reduction reactions of such precipitates are difficult to proceed leading to large particle size formation,low metal deposition,non-uniform dispersion and undesirable electrocatalyst composition on CNT and,in turn, resulting in poor performance with respect to methanol elec-trooxidation.As a result,Pt–Ru/CNT cannot be readily prepared by the same polyol procedure as that of Pt/CNT with satisfactory results.The shortcoming of EG to have a poor reducing power may be overcome by the use of more active reducing agents,such as sodium borohydride and formaldehyde,to enhance reduction reactions.However,our experience indicated that Pt–Ru/CNT prepared by reduction with conventional active reducing agents tends to form large agglomerates and incorporate impurities,e.g. boron oxides,leading to poor catalytic activity on methanol elec-trooxidation.Other feasible approaches to prepare Pt–Ru/CNT include electrodeposition[5,13],wet impregnation followed by chemical reduction[14],metal vapor deposition[15],etc.,but large particle formation and poor catalyst morphology are com-mon drawbacks.Innovative approaches are urgently needed to solve these problems.In this study,an effective preparation method was sought using modified reducing agents.The strategy was to enhance the reducing strength of EG and modify the reaction environments so that ligand-complexed Pt and Ru ions can be simultaneously reduced at the same low pH range,e.g.pH2–4,with competitive specific rates and without preferences in the formation of any specific metal or undesirable precipitates,and at the same time to maintain those good characteristics of EG as a reducing agent in electrocatalyst formation on CNT.To realize this idea,the fea-sibility was resorted to the concept of potential of zero charge (PZC)for a double layer structure at a CNT/solution interface or,more precisely,the isoelectric point(IEP)for aflow system as in our case with reactions proceeding under high-speed stir-ring conditions.At such a specific point,no net charge occurs on the CNT surfaces and,therefore,Pt and Ru can be deposited at competitive specific rates due to similar specific adsorption rates for different ions.Thus,suitable additives were investigated as modification agents to EG in order to bring about the occur-rence of IEP under proper deposition conditions.In addition, microwave irradiation,with fast and even heating capability, and ultrasound sonication were employed to enhance reductive reactions so that the metal deposition process can be completed in a shorter time with significantly improved results in terms of electrocatalyst formation for preparation of Pt–Ru/CNT.The prepared Pt–Ru/CNT electrocatalysts were tested for methanol electrooxidation in0.5M H2SO4solution.Investigations on using a variety of reducing agents different from EG as well as using electrodeposition method for the preparation of CNT-supported Pt–Ru electrocatalysts were also carried out.The results were analyzed and compared.2.Experimental2.1.Preparation of CNT-supported Pt–Ru electrocatalystsMulti-walled carbon nanotubes were obtained from Advance Nanopower Inc.,Taiwan having diameters of8–15nm and a high surface area of233m2g−1. The as-received carbon nanotubes werefirst oxidized in a hot solution,composed of8M HNO3and2M H2SO4,for several hours under refluxing conditions to remove impurities and generate surface functional groups.Purification of CNT surfaces prevents self-poisoning by foreign impurities while functional group generation enhances electrocatalyst formation.Examination on surfaces of acid-oxidized carbon nanotubes was carried out using a Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR)spectrometer(Bio-Rad,FTS-40)to ensure formation of desired surface functional groups.Reagent grade reducing agents,i.e.ethylene glycol and NaHSO3solution, were obtained from Merck and electrocatalyst precursor salts,i.e.H2PtCl6·6H2O and RuCl3,were purchased from Alfa Aesar.They were used as received with-out further purification.The procedure employed for reduction deposition of Pt–Ru electrocatalysts on pre-treated CNT is illustrated in Fig.1.It is similar to those reported previously by other groups[9,16]using a microwave irradia-tion heating method to significantly shorten the reaction time.However,proper modification of the EG reducing agent has been conducted as a main focus to suit the reaction condition for Pt–Ru/CNT formation.As an example,in the preparation of20wt.%Pt–10wt.%Ru/CNT,1.65g of acid-oxidized CNT was added to50ml of EG.The above mixture was sonicated for10min followed by high-speed stirring,using a high-speed stirrer(Heidolph,Silent Crusher M),for 30min to form a homogeneous paste so that EG was able to completely cover the carbon nanotube surfaces.Then,1.264g of H2PtCl6·6H2O and0.506g of RuCl3as Pt–Ru electrocatalyst precursors were dissolved in10ml EG together with aqueous solution of1ml of1M NaHSO3and about0.1ml of1000ppm Ca(OH)2.Thefinal pH was adjusted to about2–4.After this,the solution was slowly added to the prepared CNT/EG paste and subjected to high-speed stirring for at least30min for complexed metal ions to adsorb onto the surfaces of car-bon nanotubes followed by formation of Pt–Ru electrocatalyst through chemical reduction reaction.The resultant mixture was then heated at70–140◦C using a microwave heater for10–120min for the reduction reaction to go to com-pletion.In the preparation of Pt–Ru/CNT,the amounts of precursor salts,i.e. H2PtCl6·6H2O and RuCl3,were used with an atomic ratio(Pt:Ru)of about1:1.After reduction reaction,the reacted mixture wasfiltered and the collected carbon nanotubes were washed and rinsed with a sufficient amount of Millipore water(resistivity>16.0M cm).Thefiltrate and wash wastewater were analyzed using an inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectroscope(ICP–OES) (Jobin Yvon,Ultima-2)to determine the total amounts of un-reacted metal ions and washed out metal ions and particles.Then,the actual amounts of metals supported on CNTs were calculated.Finally,the electrocatalyst-loaded carbon82 C.-C.Chien,K.-T.Jeng/Materials Chemistry and Physics99(2006)80–87Fig.1.A schematicflowchart illustrates the procedure for preparation of CNT-supported Pt–Ru electrocatalysts using the modified EG.nanotubes were dried in an oven at100◦C under vacuum condition for sev-eral hours.Preparations of CNT-supported electrocatalysts using other reducing agents were conducted in a similar manner.2.2.Physical characterization and electrochemical investigationon methanol electrooxidationPhysical characterization of the prepared Pt–Ru/CNT electrocatlysts was conducted using a transmission electron microscope(TEM)(JEOL,JEM2010 operating at200kV)for morphology and particle size analyses and a scanning electron microscope(SEM)(JEOL,JSM-T330A operating at20kV)with energy dispersive spectrocopy(EDS)capability for elemental analyses.Electrochem-ical investigations on the prepared Pt–Ru/CNT electrocatalysts with respect to methanol electrooxidation were carried out using cyclic voltammetry.For all the electrochemical tests,the same amount of electrocatalyst(0.5mg)was used each time.Each sample was mounted on a glassy carbon electrode(0.196cm2) andfixed with0.1ml of5wt.%Nafion solution.A three-electrode system was employed with Pt as a counter electrode and Ag/AgCl as a reference electrode. Methanol electrooxidation experiments were performed at room temperature in 0.5M H2SO4aqueous solution containing1.0M CH3OH.3.Results and discussion3.1.Oxidative treatment of carbon nanotube surfaces usinga strong acid solutionThe carbon nanotubes used in this study were prepared by cat-alytic gas phase growth method having a three-dimensional,tan-gled structure with a tube diameter of about8–15nm as shown in Fig.2.The small tube diameter,in fact,favors electrocata-lyst nanoparticle formation when these metal nanoparticlesareFig.2.TEM image of as-received CNT.well dispersed.In addition,the surface area is surprisingly high (233m2g−1),comparable to that of Vulcan XC72at250m2g−1, very suitable for electrode fabrication.This carbon nanotube material is considered to have several advantages over conven-tional carbon blacks.These include:(i)having more defined crystalline structure with higher conductivity,(ii)containing lit-tle impurities,such as metals and sulfides,and thus eliminating potential poisoning effects to electrocatalysts,and(iii)possess-ing three-dimensional structure and thus favoring theflow of reactant and providing a large reaction zone when fabricated into electrodes.The carbon nanotubes are also chemically stable and resistant to thermal decomposition up to more than300◦C.Due to these distinctive characteristics,this carbon nanotube material is very suitable for use as a new electrocatalyst support.A recent report by Han et al.[17]indicated that a stronger nitric acid solution generates more functional groups on CNT surfaces than a weaker one and results in better electrocatalyst formation.Therefore,a concentrated nitric acid,with addition of sulfuric acid,solution was employed in this study for oxidation. The result on generation of surface functional groups obtained from FT-IR spectroscopy is shown in Fig.3.It is clear that several types of functional groups,particularly carbonyl and hydroxyl groups,have been generated on acid-oxidized carbon nanotube surfaces as expected.In addition,it can be seen that the longer the acid treatment time,the more amounts of surface functional groups were generated as evidenced by the FT-IR spectrographs. It was reported[12]that the dominant functional group is car-boxylic group generated by strong acid treatment.High density of surface functional groups indeed ensures that high loading of electrocatalyst can be supported on CNT surfaces,which is favorable for use in DMFCs.It was found[18]that the oxidized CNT also induced a zeta potential(ζ)in a solution,such as an ethanol solu-tion,more negative than that of a pristine one due to the presences of acidic functional groups.These functional groups on oxidized CNT dissociate in the solvent and con-sequently impart negative charges on the CNT surfaces, which should be favorable for adsorption of multicharged metal complexes,such as Pt(EG)a(Cl−)b(HSO3−)c(4−b−c)+andC.-C.Chien,K.-T.Jeng/Materials Chemistry and Physics99(2006)80–8783Fig.3.FT-IR spectrographs for generation of functional groups on strong acid-oxidized CNT surfaces with different treatment time:(a)1h,(b)3h,and(c) 6h.Ru(EG)l(Cl−)m(HSO3−)n(3−m−n)+with their chloride ligands partially denuded.The accompanying large electrical repulsive forces between nanotubes prevent them from tangling and form-ing agglomeration.But,in reality the negatively charged CNT surfaces are not ideal for formation of Pt–Ru electrocatalysts in an unmodified EG solution due to different specific adsorption rates of these two metal ions and,in turn,different specific depo-sition rates between Pt and Ru.Thus,proper adjustment of the CNT surface charges using the modified EG to provide a suitable reaction condition is necessary in order to prepare Pt–Ru/CNT with excellent formation and ideal electrocatalyst composition as will be discussed later.It should also be noted that the strong acid oxidation has partially changed the surface structures of carbon nanotubes in a way of“forced corrosion.”Although this oxidative surface treatment process is helpful for generations of surface functional groups and deposition of electrocatalyst metal,it may affect the conductivity and chemical stability of the carbon nanotubes if over-treated.Thus,cares should be taken in this respect.A treat-ment time of3–6h was found to be acceptable.No obvious increases in functional groups formation on oxidized CNT sur-faces using a longer treatment time.3.2.Preparations of Pt–Ru/CNT using a modified reducing agentThe main component of the modified reducing agent is still ethylene glycol.In general,the function of EG is twofold:(a) to work as a chelating agent for complexation of metal ions in the reduction process,and(b)to serve as a reducing agent to convert metal ions into metal or alloy nanoparticles.In the preparation of Pt–Ru/CNT,the EG solution(usually contains a small amount of water)was generally adjusted to a suitable pH value,which favors formation of EG(ligand)–Pt(ion)and EG (ligand)–Ru(ion)complexes.Under this condition,the coordi-nation mechanism of ethylene glycol to metal ions is through the non-participating electron pair on oxygen and does not involve acid dissociation of alcohol groups.The formation of such com-plexes prevents too many Pt and Ru ions from sticking together. Thus,this results in the formation of small nanosized electrocata-lyst particles with uniform distribution when reduction reactions are carried out at suitable temperatures.The TEM images of Pt–Ru/CNT electrocatalysts prepared using different EG reducing agents are compared.Fig.4(a) shows the one prepared using modified EG while Fig.4(b) reveals that in more magnified details.One can clearly see that the modified EG prepared Pt–Ru/CNT has uniform particle dis-persion and small particle sizes.On the other hand,the use of unmodified EG resulted in discrete and more aggregate parti-cles as shown in Fig.4(c).By comparing with the result obtained using NaBH4as a reducing agent as shown in Fig.4(d),it can be seen that a strong reducing agent may not result in good catalyst formation on CNT.When the reducing agent is too strong,reduc-tion of metal salt or ion proceeds rapidly and the metal tends to form locally with large agglomerates.Fig.5shows the particle size distribution of Pt–Ru/CNT prepared using the modified EG. It can be seen that the particle size is,indeed,very small and nar-rowly centered at about3nm with an average of about3.3nm. This is,in fact,just about the ideal size of Pt–Ru electrocatalyst for methanol electrooxidation[19].The best reaction temperature was found to be around 110–140◦C and the reaction time was dramatically reduced from6to8h to about30min using the modified EG with microwave irradiation heating.This heating method has advan-tages over conventional conductive heating in that it is more uniform and effective.Therefore,suitable reaction tempera-tures can be reached within a much shorter time.In general, microwave irradiation heating can increase the reaction kinetics by1–2orders of magnitude over conventional heating methods within a short reaction time improving electrocatalyst nanopar-ticle formation.The metal deposition efficiency(η),i.e.the percentage of the total amount of metal ions originally exist in the reaction solution that deposit onto the CNT support surfaces, was found to be more than90%for Pt–Ru/CNT.In general,a loading of10–50wt.%Pt–Ru in a form of alloy on CNT can be readily prepared without much difference in particle size distri-bution using the modified EG in conjunction with microwave irradiation heating.In addition to particle morphology,the composition of the prepared Pt–Ru electrocatalyst is also of vital importance to have excellent electrocatalytic activity and poison-resistance in methanol electrooxidation.The effectiveness of the modified EG on forming the right electrocatalyst composition in the prepara-tion of20wt.%Pt–10wt.%Ru/CNT(Pt:Ru=1:1)was examined by the elemental analyses using EDS and ICP.Fig.6(a)shows the EDS graph of the prepared Pt–Ru/CNT using the modified EG and Fig.6(b)shows the one using unmodified EG with much more pronounced Ru signal for the paring these two graphs to that of a standard taken using the same amount of a commercial20wt.%Pt–10wt.%Ru/C electrocatalyst(Johnson Matthey)as shown in Fig.6(c),it can be seen that the use of mod-ified EG gave rise to a much better electrocatalyst composition pattern close to that of the commercial product.The intensities of EDS signals of the prepared Pt–Ru/CNT relative to those of84 C.-C.Chien,K.-T.Jeng /Materials Chemistry and Physics 99(2006)80–87Fig.4.TEM images of prepared Pt/CNT using different reducing agents:(a)modified EG,(b)modified EG (with magnified details),(c)unmodified EG,and (d)NaBH 4.the commercial standard were used to estimate the amounts of Pt and Ru deposited on CNT surfaces.It turned out that these semi-quantitative results are comparable to those obtained from the more accurate ICP tests as shown in Table 1.It can be seen that from the ICP tests the Pt–Ru/CNT electrocatalyst prepared using the modified EG has an atomic ratio (Pt:Ru)of 1:0.93very close to the ideal ratio of 1:1.On the other hand,when using unmod-ified EG,the resultant electrocatalyst is overly rich in Pt and has a poor atomic ratio of 1:0.37.Thus,the use of modified EG indeed improved the reduction reaction of ruthenium ion and,in turn,enhanced the Pt–Ru formation on acid-treated CNT.It is believed that the main contributive factor in promot-ing formation of uniform Pt–Ru nanoparticles comes fromtheFig.5.Particle size distribution of CNT-supported Pt–Ru prepared at 110◦C using the modified EG.The average size is 3.3nm.synergic effect of EG with the modification agents,i.e.NaHSO 3and Ca(OH)2.Thus,it is necessary to explore the roles of NaHSO 3and Ca(OH)2in the modified reducing agent that lead to such enhanced performances.The former is commonly employed as a reducing agent in preparation of Pt–Ru electro-catalysts [20,21]using carbon black supports with fine particle formation and therefore it was adopted into this modified polyol process to prepare Pt–Ru/CNT electrocatalysts.In addition to enhancing the reducing power of EG,SO 3is a stronger ligand than Cl.Thus,it is able to form more stable complex ions with Pt 4+and Ru 3+leading to better dispersion and,in turn,narrower nanoparticle formation.In particular,the use of NaHSO 3sub-stantially promotes the conversion efficiency of Ru 3+to Ru metal 2–3times higher than before at a lower pH value of 2–4.This is indeed a significant improvement in reductive preparation of Pt–Ru electrocatalysts supported on CNT using sulfite species as a modification agent for EG.It should be mentioned that at such low pH values the capability of EG in the complexation of metal ions becomes relatively weak.The introduction of NaHSO 3as a modification agent into the reaction solution provides a timely assistance in this respect.Thus,the dual role of NaHSO 3as a second chelating agent and as an enhancing reduction agent is of special importance.However,the pH of the deposition solution,in fact,did play a key role in the proper formation of Pt–Ru/CNT.Zhao and Gao reported [22]that the zeta potential of multi-walled car-C.-C.Chien,K.-T.Jeng/Materials Chemistry and Physics99(2006)80–8785 Table1Comparison of elemental compositions of

resulted in more pronounced Ru signal and better electrocatalyst composition close to that of the commercial product.bon nanotubes in an ethanol solution is a function of the pH and increases its negative magnitude as the pH value of ethanol solution increases.They also found that the adsorption of a copolymer-based dispersant on the CNT surfaces shifts the zeta potential toward a positive direction.As the zeta potential varies from a positive to a negative value over a pH range,there exists an IEP at a specific pH.Since there is no net surface charge at the IEP,the adsorption of different ligand-complexed ions on the CNT surfaces will occur at almost the same specific rates.Thus, the composition of thefinal electrocatalyst product will depend mainly on the composition of the starting reactant,which can be readily controlled as desired.We employed this unique char-acteristic of CNT/solution interfaces and were able to make the preparation of electrocatalysts,particularly Pt–Ru,more effec-tive.Thus,the calcium hydroxide aqueous solution was used as a mild pH adjuster or a solution conditioner in conjunction with the use of NaHSO3in the modification of EG.In this case,the dispersants were the EG and NaHSO3com-plexed Pt and Ru ions.By carefully adjusted the metal deposition solution with a suitable amount of Ca(OH)2aqueous solution to a pH value of about2–4,close to where the IEP takes place and precipitation of undesired Ru salts can be avoided,a suit-able Pt–Ru deposition environment on the CNT surfaces was created.This naturally resulted in significantly improved elec-trocatalyst formation.The use of a dilute NaOH aqueous solution to adjust the pH was also found to bring about similar results in electrocatalyst deposition.From the composition of the pre-pared Pt–Ru/CNT as shown in Table1,it evidences that the deposition of different metals on CNT can be properly regu-lated to almost the same specific rates using the modified EG. It also indicates that the pH value where the IEP occurs with adsorption of ligand-complexed Pt and Ru ions on CNT is close to2–4.Thus,with the novel concept of having competitive spe-cific adsorption rates of different complexed metal ions around the IEP,the modified EG is also expected to be applicable to preparations of a variety of multi-component electrocatalysts, e.g.Pt–Ru–Ir,Pt–Ru–Rh,Pt–Ru–Ir–Rh,etc.,with desired com-positions,which will have enhanced electrocatalytic activities and poisoning resistances for fuel cell applications.Using the modified reducing agent,the metal deposition effi-ciency for Pt–Ru/CNT was significantly improved from about 40to>90%.A loading of10–50wt.%Pt–Ru on CNT with an atomic ratio of close to1:1can be readily obtained.Finally, it should be mentioned that the introduction of water into the modified EG reducing agent through the addition of aqueous solutions of NaHSO3and Ca(OH)2also affected the formation of electrocatalysts.In an earlier study,Zhou et al.[8]found that the amount of water added to EG significantly affects the par-ticle sizes of CNT-supported electrocatalysts.Li et al.[4]also reported that the higher water content in EG,the larger Pt particle size on CNT.The presence of water in EG may favor the forma-tion of complex salts and buffer the Pt–Ru particle formation in a slower rate.Its existence in the EG solution is also helpful for pH adjustment.Therefore,water should be used as an integral part of the additive for the modified EG reducing agent.How-ever,the water content in the modified reducing agent should be properly controlled so as to obtain the best performance and prevent the catalyst particles from aggregation.In this study, a water content of1–2vol.%seemed to give quite satisfactory results with small particle formations.3.3.Electrocatalytic activity of prepared Pt–Ru/CNT on methanol electrooxidationIt is interesting to know if the prepared Pt–Ru/CNT exhibits better performance with respect to methanol electrooxidation as another evidence for better electrocatalyst formation using the modified reducing agent.Fig.7illustrates the methanol elec-trooxidation currents obtained from cyclic voltammograms with。

S. mathematician who studies the structures of ice. ”It’s a much more fascinating and plex substance than people would normally think.“The first step for building any ice rink is to purify the water to remove dissolved solids like salts and minerals. Such impurities don’t fit in the regular hexagonal(六边形的)structure of ice that forms as water freezes. The purer the water, the more consistent the ice surface.In addition to the need for excellence in the raw materials of icemaking, technology is also very important, As one of the most advanced technologies for winter sports venues, a carbon dioxide cooling technology has been applied on a large scale for the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. CO2 , is not new when it es to icemaking. However, it has been gradually replaced by the manmade refrigerant, like Freon.With increasing attention toward climate change, the old refrigerant has e into use again. As an element of the atmosphere, CO2, doesn’t damage the ozone layer. Although CO2 is a greenhouse gas, its greenhouse effect is much lower than that of other synthetic refrigerants. The Winter Olympics venues adopted CO2instead of Freon as a refrigerant in icemaking, which will reduce carbon dioxide emissions greatly.”We believe these technological innovations will bring Beijing 2022 to spectators all over the world in a more impressive way.“ told Gao Bo from the Media Operations Department of the Beijing Organizing mittee for the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.39.What is the result of impurities in water for icemaking?A.The water isn’t able to freeze pletely.B.The quality of the ice will be affected.C.The ice surface will be more consistent.D.It’s likely for athletes to fall on the ice.40.Why has CO2 cooling technology been applied for the Winter Olympic Games?A.It’s the most advanced technology for icemaking.B.CO2 is more efficient than other refrigerants.C.CO2 is more environmentally friendly than Freon.D.CO2 has already existed in the atmosphere.41.What is Gao Bo’s attitude to CO2 being applied to icemaking?A.Unclear.B.Opposed.C.Doubtful.D.Favorable.42.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A.The Beijing Winter Olympic Games Are ing B.Beneath Olympic IceC.The Use of Refrigerants in Olympic Games D.The Structure of Ice。

Highpowerelectro...High power electrochemical capacitors based on carbon nanotube electrodesChunming Niu,a)Enid K.Sichel,Robert Hoch,David Moy,and Howard TennentHyperion Catalysis International,Inc.,Cambridge,Massachusetts02138Received21November1996;accepted for publication13January1997Carbon nanotube sheet electrodes have been prepared from catalytically grown carbon nanotubes ofhigh purity and narrow diameter distribution,centered around80?.Our study shows that theelectrodes are free-standing mats of entangled nanotubes with an open porous structure almostimpossible to obtain with activated carbon or carbon?ber.These properties are highly desirable forhigh power and long cycle life electrochemical capacitors.Speci?c capacitances of102and49F/gwere measured at1and100Hz,respectively,on a single cell device with38wt%H2SO4as theelectrolyte.The same cell had a power density of?8000W/kg.?1997American Institute ofPhysics.?S0003-6951?97?03011-8?Since the discovery of arc-grown carbon nanotubes,1 there has been considerable experimental and theoretical at-tention to their properties2–5and potential applications.6–10 To date,the arc-growth method has not yielded large quan-tities of nanotubes uncontaminated by other forms of carbon. Thus,the development of applications which require bulk quantities of nanotubes have not been possible.An alterna-tive method is catalytic decomposition of hydrocarbons.11,12 The catalytically grown nanotubes with their entangled struc-ture are ideal templates or scaffolding for the synthesis of new nanostructured materials.In previous work,13we pre-pared bulk quantities of high purity SiC nano?brils from a starting material of our catalytically grown carbon nano-tubes.Others14,15have reported that carbide nanorods can be prepared using catalytically grown carbon nanotubes as a precursor.In this letter,we report on the preparation of car-bon nanotube sheet electrodes and their performance as ac-tive materials in electrochemical capacitors.Electrochemical capacitors16–19?also called supercapaci-tors and ultracapacitors?are attractive for their potentially high power and long cycle life(?10000).Recent efforts have been focused on the development of electrochemical capacitors that have high power density and improved fre-quency response.The key factors determining the power and frequency response of an electrochemical capacitor are the resistivity of the electrode materials and the resistivity of the electrolyte within the porous structure of the electrode.Car-bon in its various forms has been the most widely studied electrode material for electrochemical capacitors.Unfortu-nately,available high surface area carbons,such as activated carbon and carbon?ber,al-ways have a wide pore size dis-tribution ranging from micropores(?20??to macropores (?500??.Most of the surface area resides in micropores which are incapable of supporting an electrical double layer. The remaining surface area can be accessed as the ions mi-grate into the pores,accompanied by an increasing electro-lyte resistance.Hence,the energy stored can be withdrawn only at low frequencies or by dc.We report here a carbon nanotube electrode that has a narrow distribution of pore sizes,highly accessible surface area,low resistivity,and high stability.The catalytically grown carbon nanotubes11,12used in this work were produced commercially by Hyperion Cataly-sis International?trade name:Graphite Fibrils??.Transmis-sion electron microscopy?TEM?revealed that the carbon nanotubes have a morphology very similar to arc-grown buckytubes,i.e.,a hollow core and multiple layers of gra-phitic carbon arranged concentrically around the tube axis. The diameters of the nanotubes are remarkably uniform with an average of?80??Fig.1? a??.More signi?cantly,the nanotubes are uncontaminated by other forms of carbon or other residues except for small amounts of catalyst residue that can be easily removed.Scanning electron microscopy ?SEM?revealed that the carbon nanotubes are formed as bundles?Fig.1?b??with individual nanotubes arranged semi-parallel to each other.The diameter of the bundles is?2?m with length of?20?m.Steps involved in the preparation of carbon nanotube sheet electrodes include:?1?disassemble the nanotube aggre-gates and introduce chemical functional groups on the sur-face of the nanotubes;?2?disperse the functionalized hydro-philic nanotubes in water;?3?reassemble the individualized carbon nanotubes into an interconnected,entangled,free-standing structure.Chemical modi?cation of activated car-bons and carbon?bers is a well-studied subject.There are several methods of introducing oxygenate groups onto the surface of carbon.20–22In this study,we treated as-prepared carbon nanotubes with nitric acid,followed by?ltration, washing,and drying to yield the functionalized nanotubes. We found that the nitric acid treatment very effectively dis-assembled nanotube aggregates.As revealed by XPS analy-sis,about10%of the surfacecarbons were bound to oxygen. The functional groups introduced on the surface include:–COOH,–OH,and?C?O.Ash analysis indicated that more than90%of the catalyst residue was removed by nitric acid treatment.To prepare the nanotube electrodes,0.2g of functionalized carbon nanotubes were dispersed in200cc water,followed by?ltration,yielding a carbon nanotube sheet with diameter3.5in.After drying and thermally cross linking,a rigid carbon nanotube electrode was formed.The thickness of the electrode was?0.001in.It is important to note that the functionalized carbon nanotubes are self-a?Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.Electronic mail:hci1@/doc/bb270e09dd36a32d737581c4.htmladhesive;therefore,the solid sheet electrodes can be madewithout using binding materials which always bring impuri-ties into the structure and can degrade capacitor perfor-mance.The electrodes have smooth surfaces,uniform thick-nesses,and acceptable mechanical strength.They are ?exibleand can be easily bent,rolled,and cut to different shapes andsizes.They have shown consistent properties from batch tobatch.The measured density of the electrode is 0.8g/cc.Wefound that the density of our electrodes can be controlled byvarying the conditions of the nitric acid oxidation.Figure 2shows a SEM micrograph of a nanotube elec-trode.The electrode consists of randomly entangled andcross-linked carbon nanotubes which have diameters of80.Because of this unique architecture,we have real-ized several properties which are unobtainable with othercarbon materials.These are:a pore structure determined bythe open space between entangled ?brils,high accessible sur-face area,controllable electrode density,and high thermaland chemical stability.Unlike other types of carbon elec-trodes which contain micropores,slit pores,and dead end pores,the pores in the nanotube electrode ?Fig.2?are spaces in the entangled nanotube network,thus they are all con-nected.A pore size distribution analysis of particles made by grinding up a thick mat revealed that the nanotube electrodes are essentially free of micropores.Total pore volume is 0.79cc/g.The micropore (?20??volume is a negligible 0.0016cc/g.The average pore diameter is 92?,which is 12?larger than the average diameter of our nanotubes.The BET surface area of as-produced nanotubes is ?250m 2/g.The surface area of our nanotube electrodes is 430m 2/g.The increase is due to the nitric acid oxidation of the nanotube surfaces.Since the measured micropore volume is negligible,the surface area of the nanotube electrode resides in volumes and crevices greater than 20? in size;thus,accessible to the electrolyte.16–19In contrast,in an activated carbon with a surface area of ?1000m 2/g,less than 1/3of the surface area is available for the formation of an ionic double layer.A single-cell test device was fabricated with two carbon nanotube electrodes having diameters of 0.5in.,thickness of 0.001in.,and separated by a 0.001in.thick polymer sepa-rator ?Celgard ?using 38wt %H 2SO 4as the electrolyte.The resistivity of the electrode sheets was measured using the van der Pauw method.It was 1.6?10?2?cm.The speci?c ca-pacitance measured for this cell by a dc constant current charging method was 104F/g.The equivalent series resis-tance for this cell was 0.094?.Figure 3?a ?shows a complex-plane plot of the impedance of this capacitor.The measurements were made at a dc bias of 0V with a 10mV amplitude sinusoidal signal using a Solartron model 1250frequency response analyzer driving an EG&G PAR model 273potentiostat/galvanostat.The impedance curve intersects the real axis at a 45°angle,which is consistent with the porous nature of the electrodes when saturated with electro-lyte.Note that the frequency ‘‘knee’’in the plot is about 100Hz,which suggests that most of its stored energy is acces-sible at frequencies below 100Hz.This is unprecedented for this type of device.In comparison,the highest reported knee frequency in other capacitors is 6Hz.23The kneefrequency FIG.1.?a ?TEM micrograph of highly dispersed catalytically grown carbonnanotubes.The average diameter is ?80?;and ?b ?SEM micrograph ofas-made catalytically grown carbon nanotubes.The carbon nanotubes areformed as bundles with individual nanotubes arranged semiparallel to eachother.The diameter of the bundles is ?2?m with length of ?20?m.FIG.2.SEM micrograph of a nanotube electrode.The electrode consists ofrandomly entangled and cross-linked carbon nanotubes which have uniformdiameters of ?80?.for most commercially available electrochemical capacitors,including those specially designed for high power applica-tions,is ?1Hz.23Figure 3?b ?shows a Bode angle plot.For frequencies up to 1Hz,the phase angle is very close to ?90°,which suggests that the device functions like an ideal capacitor.The dependence of the speci?c capacitance on fre-quency is summarized in Table I.Note that the speci?c ca-pacitances are as high as 102and 49F/g at frequencies of 1and100Hz,respectively.A better frequency response means a better power performance.Figure 4shows a Ragone plot of the cell.The results were obtained using constant current discharges,?rst from 1.0to 0.5V,then from 1to 0V.The power plotted in the ?gure is the average power over the 0.5or 1V window.The data were based on the cell weight ?including two electrodes,separator,electrolyte and current collector ?.They indicate that a power density of ?8K W/kg is easily obtainable with our nanotube electrodes.The authors thank Dr.John Miller of JME,Inc.,Shaker Heights,OH for the impedance analysis and for many useful discussions,and Y.-Z.Lu of Harvard University for his as-sistance in electron microscopic work.This work has been supported by BMDO under Contract No.DASG60-96-C-0129.1S.Iijima,Nature ?London ?354,56?1991?.2J.-P.Lu,Phys.Rev.Lett.74,1123?1995?.3S.-N.Song,X.-K.Wang,R.P.H.Chang,and J.B.Ketterson,Phys.Rev.Lett.72,697?1994?.4H.-J.Dai,E.W.Wang,and C.M.Lieber,Science 272,523?1996?.5M.M.J.Treacy,T.W.Ebbesen,and J.M.Gibson,Nature ?London ?381,678?1996?.6W.A.De.Heer,A.Chatelain,andD.Ugarte,Science 270,1179?1995?.7J.M.Planeix,N.Coustel,B.Cog,V.Brotons,P.S.Kumbhar,R.Dutartre,P.Geneste,P.Bernier,andP.M.Ajayan,J.Am.Chem.Soc.116,7935?1994?.8P.M.Ajayan and S.Iijima,Nature ?London ?361,333?1993?.9A.G.Rinzler,J.H.Hafner,P.Nikolaev,L.Lou,S.G.Kim,D.Tomanek,P.Nordlander,D.C.Colbert,and R.E.Smalley,Science 269,1550?1995?.10P.M.Ajayan,O.Stephan,C.Colliex,and D.Truth,Science 265,1212?1994?.11H.G.Tennent,U.S.Patent No.4,663,230?1987?.12C.E.Snyder,H.W.Mandeville,and H.G.Tennent,International Patent WO 89/07163?1989?.13C.-M.Niu and D.Moy,Mater.Res.Soc.Symp.Proc.410,179?1996?.14H.-J.Dai,E.W.Wong,Y.-Z.Lu,S.Fan,and C.M.Lieber,Nature ?London 375,7691995.15C.M.Lieber,E.W.Wong,H.-J.Dai,B.W.Maynor,and L.D.Burns,Mater.Res.Soc.Symp.Proc.410,103 1996?.16E.Conway,in Symposium Proceedings on New Sealed Rechargeable Bat-teries and Supercapacitors ,edited by B.M.Barnett,E.Dowgiallo,G.Halpert,Y.Matsuda,and Z.Takehara ?The Electrochemical Society,Pen-nington,NJ,1993?,p.15.17R.A.Huggins,Philos.Trans.R.Soc.London,Ser.A 354,1555?1996?.18S.T.Mayer,R.W.Pekala,and J.L.Kaschmitter,J.Electrochem.Soc.140,446?1993?.19F.Burke and T.C.Murphy,Mater.Res.Soc.Symp.Proc.393,375?

Preparation of a carbon nanotube/carbon fiber multi-scale reinforcement by grafting multi-walledcarbon nanotubes onto the fibersXiaodong He,Fuhua Zhang *,Rongguo Wang,Wenbo LiuCenter for Composite Materials,Harbin Institute of Technology,Harbin 150001,ChinaReceived 20May 2007;accepted 14August 2007Available online 22August 2007AbstractTo prepare a carbon nanotube (CNT)/carbon fiber multi-scale reinforcement (MSR),multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)functionalized at the end caps with hexamethylene diamine (HMD)are grafted onto the surfaces of carbon fibers treated with acyl chlo-ride.The surface element concentrations,surface functional groups and morphology of the MSR were examined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).XPS spectra indicate that sp 2and sp 3carbon atoms are major components in the MSR surface,and the carbon fiber surface structure is not destroyed.There is 17.41%of C–NH x in the surface of the MSR,which suggests that MWCNTs are covalently grafted onto carbon fiber surfaces.SEM shows that the grafted MWCNTs stick to the carbon fiber surface at different angles,and are uniformly distributed along the outer edges of the grooves in the fiber surface.The grafted MWCNTs are 50–200nm in length and around 14nm in diameter.It was found that the grafting increases the weight of carbon fiber by 1.2%,which implied that a considerable amount of MWCNTs were grafted onto carbon fiber surfaces.Ó2007Elsevier Ltd.All rights reserved.1.IntroductionThe exceptionally high specific stiffness and strength of carbon nanotubes (CNTs)and their fiber-like structure have stimulated extensive investigations into the mechanical properties of polymer composites reinforced with CNTs since Ajayan and his coworkers first started the study on CNT/epoxy composite [1].CNT/polymer composites are usually prepared by dispersing CNTs into the polymer matrix through ultrasonication,shear mixing,in situ poly-merization [2–9],or improvement of dispersibility in organic solvents via surface chemical functionalization [10–13].However,the unique mechanical properties of CNTs can not be fully achieved in macro-scale composites,because the distribution and orientation of CNTs in the highly vis-cous resin are very difficult to control.Because there is a much stronger interfacial interaction,especially in the surface functionalized CNT/polymer com-posite interphase [4,14,15],some investigations have been done recently on the design and preparation of the CNT/fiber hybrid composite by growing CNTs on fibers through chemical vapor deposition (CVD)[16–18].The growth of CNTs offers potential for selective reinforcement,where nanoscale reinforcement can be included in matrix-rich interlaminar regions to improve through-thickness proper-ties of polymer composite or used to stiffen the fiber/matrix interface [18].However,the catalyst needed for the growth of CNTs may contaminate carbon fibers.This paper pre-sents a new chemical method used for preparation of the CNT/carbon fiber multi-scale reinforcement (MSR),which combines micrometric fibers with nanometric CNTs.Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)functionalized with hexamethylene diamine (HMD)at the end caps are grafted onto the surfaces of carbon fibers treated with acyl chloride using the fiber surface grafting technique [19–21].The process might avoid the contamination of carbon0008-6223/$-see front matter Ó2007Elsevier Ltd.All rights reserved.doi:10.1016/j.carbon.2007.08.018*Corresponding author.Fax:+8645186402399.E-mail address:zhangfuhua@ (F.Zhang)./locate/carbonAvailable online at Carbon 45(2007)2559–2563fibers by catalyst needed for the growth of CNTs by CVD during in situ grafting.To make sure that the grafting is properly completed,samples were prepared and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)analyses for their sur-face element concentrations and surface functional groups, and scanning electron microscopy(SEM)observation for the surface morphology of the MSR were carried out.2.Experimental2.1.MaterialsThe MWCNTs used for this study were provided by Shenzhen Nano-tech Port Co.,Ltd.(NTP),and thionyl chloride(SOCl2,analytically pure), HMD(98%),dimethylformamide(DMF,99.5%)were purchased from Tianjin Chemical Regent No.1Plant.Carbonfiber was T300B-3k-40b (Toray Industries,Inc.,Japan).2.2.Experimental procedureThe MSR was prepared through several steps of chemical reactions. Cutting by acid and surface functionalization of MWCNTs by HMD were performed using the method similar to that used in previous studies[22–25].Carbonfibers were refluxed in acetone in water bath(100°C)for 24h to remove the polymer sizing agent.Then the carbonfibers were oxi-dized in40ml of nitric acid(15.70mol/l)at140°C for4h.The oxidated fibers were taken out and rinsed with excess of acetone and dried in vac-uum at room temperature.The dried carbonfibers were then put into the solution of a catalytic amount of DMF and50ml of thionyl chloride at 76°C for48h so that the carboxyl groups obtained through oxidation onfiber surfaces could be transformed into carbonyl chloride groups. After being rinsed in acetone again and dried,the carbonfibers were mixed with MWCNTs functionalized with HMD at the end caps in DMF solvent under pulsed sonication for10min,and then reacted at 70°C for72h,during which a5min pulsed sonication was implemented on the mixture at4h intervals.Then the MWCNTs functionalized with HMD were grafted ontofiber surfaces through nucleophilic substitution reaction between amine groups and acyl chloride groups.Finally,the pre-pared MSR was rinsed in acetone to remove the unreacted MWCNTs. The experimental scheme is shown in Fig.1.2.3.CharacterizationXPS analysis was performed at each reaction step using a physical elec-tronics(PE)PHI-5700system with the Al K a(1486.7eV)X-ray source of radiation at45°electron take-offangle.The base pressure in the sample analysis chamber was set at3·10À7Pa.XPS multiplex spectra were obtained in the retarding mode using pass energy of29.35eV and 0.519eV/step.The PHI multi-Technique ESCA PC-access7.0was used for data acquisition and data analysis.Duringfitting process,integrated background was selected and the full widths at half maximum(FWHM) of constituent peaks were kept constant.Thefitting curves were deter-mined by Gaussian and Lorentzian distributions,in which the Gaussian distribution ratio was higher than80%.SEM tests were done with a HITACHIS-4700scanning electron microscope operating at20kV.3.Results and discussionXPS survey scans were performed to detect the presence of surface elements.The peaks for carbon,oxygen,nitro-gen and chloride are centered at around284.30,532.20, 399.50and201.40eV,respectively.It can be seen from Fig.2a that raw carbonfiber surface elements include 77.91at.%of carbon,20.37at.%oxygen and insignificant impurities of nitrogen and chloride.After acid treatment, the oxygen content goes up to23.94at.%,as shown in Fig.2b.The XPS C1s peak deconvolution of the acid trea-ted carbonfiber(see Fig.3a)was obtained byfitting its C 1s narrow scan spectrum.It can be seen from Fig.3a that carboxyl groups(bonding energy assigned at288.40–289.60eV)with12.18%of total area were obtained.After the acylation reaction with SOCl2,carboxyl groups on car-bonfiber surfaces were converted to acyl chloride groups. As shown in Fig.2c,there is a noticeable presence of Cl ele-ments with a concentration of3.33at.%,which suggeststhe2560X.He et al./Carbon45(2007)2559–2563location of Cl on the carbonfiber surface.It can be seen from Fig.3b that the presence of Cl are in the form of C A Cl(binding energy assigned at287.70eV).As shown in Fig.4,the bonding energy at201.40and199.80eV, which are assigned to Cl2p1/2and Cl2p3/2,respectively, also indicates that the presence of Cl are in the form of C A Cl bond.These results indicate that the carboxyl groups on carbonfiber surfaces have been partially transformed into acyl chloride groups.At the end of the process,the acyl chloride groups were reacted with amidocyanogens on MWCNTs functionalized with HMD to graft MWCNTs onto carbonfiber surfaces. The existence of N1s in wide scan spectrum of carbon fibers with MWCNTs grafted,as shown in Fig.2d,proves the location of N elements on carbonfiber surfaces.It can be seen from Fig.2that the C1s of carbonfiber with MWCNTs grafted(MSR)can befitted tofive line curves with bonding energies assigned at284.94,286.20,287.40, 288.80and290.90eV.These binding energy peaks are assigned to sp2C@C(284.25–284.35eV)and sp3C A C (285.10–285.30eV),C–NH x at286.20eV,C@O at 287.40eV,O A C@O at288.80eV and p–p*at290.90eV. The total area of the C1s peak region of carbonfibers with MWCNTs grafted consists of61.86%sp2C@C and sp3C A C,17.41%C–NH x,8.51%C@O,9.88%O A C@O and2.34%p–p*.The existence of a significant amount of C–NH x indicates that HMD functionalized MWCNTs are covalently grafted onto carbonfiber surfaces.The insignif-icant shift of binding energy of C1s at each processing step (see Fig.5)suggests that the surface electronic structures ofX.He et al./Carbon45(2007)2559–25632561carbonfibers were not obviously destroyed.The original mechanical properties of carbonfibers remain unchanged.The morphology of pulverous HMD functionalized MWCNTs sample is shown in Fig.6.The carbonfiber sur-faces with and without HMD functionalized MWCNTs grafted were examined by SEM to investigate the morphol-ogies,number of MWCNTs and distributions of MWCNTs on the sample surfaces.As shown in Fig.7a, there are grooves with different width and depth along the axial direction of the raw carbonfiber of T300B-3k-40b.After the moderate acid treatment,thefiber surfaces remain unchanged except that the widths and depths of some grooves increased,as shown in Fig.7b.The mechan-ical properties of carbonfibers will not be deteriorated by these grooves,while interfacial bonding strength between fiber and polymer matrix of their composite can be improved by the effect of mechanical interlock[26]by these grooves.SEM surface morphology of the MSR is shown in Fig.7c.The MWCNTs functionalized with HMD are covalently grafted onto the carbonfiber surface.The grafted MWCNTs stick to the carbonfiber surface at dif-ferent angles and are uniformly distributed along the outer edges of the grooves in the carbonfiber surface,which made the carbonfiber look like a branchedfiber.It can be seen from the SEM local surface morphology of the MSR,as shown in Fig.7d,that the grafted MWCNTs are50–200nm in length,and around14nm in diameter. The increases of about1.2wt.%of the carbonfiber after being grafted indicates that a considerable amount of HMD functionalized MWCNTs have been grafted onto carbonfiber surfaces.With such a content of MWCNTs, the mechanical properties of the polymer matrix betweenFig.6.SEM photo of HMD functionalized MWCNTs.Fig.7.SEM photo of:(a)the raw carbonfiber,(b)the acid treated carbonfiber,(c)the MSR and(d)the local surface morphology of the MSR. 2562X.He et al./Carbon45(2007)2559–2563fibers can be significantly improved when the MSR is used as reinforcement,because only0.5wt%loading of amino-functionalized CNTs can increase the elastic modulus of the polymer composite by24.6%[12].The mechanical properties of composites depend on the properties of the matrix and reinforcement,and the nature of the interfacial bond and the mechanism of load transfer. Frankland et al.predicted that a functionalization of CNTs of less than1%would improve the interaction between CNTs and the polymer without significant decrease in their strength[27].And there is a high interaction at the interfa-cial region linked by chemical bonds as suggested by Wag-ner[17].Therefore,the prepared MSR makes it possible to make full use of the exceptional high stiffness and tough-ness of CNTs in their composites.4.ConclusionsIt can be seen from the Section3above that HMD func-tionalized MWCNTs at the end caps were covalently grafted onto carbonfiber surfaces,as directly confirmed by XPS and supported by SEM.The grafted MWCNTs are50–200nm in length and around14nm in diameter. The grafted MWCNTs stick to the carbonfiber surface at different angles and are uniformly distributed along the outer edges of the grooves in thefiber surface.The grafting increases the weight of the carbonfiber by1.2%,implied that a considerable amount of MWCNTs were grafted onto carbonfiber surfaces.And the MSR were successfully pre-pared by grafting MWCNTs functionalized with HMD at the end caps onto carbonfiber surfaces.The prepared MSR makes it possible to make full use of the exceptional high stiffness and toughness of CNTs in their composites.
