Pre-Treatment Of Natural Graphite As Starting Material For Carbon Nanotube Synthesis

In the push for renewable energy and cleaner fuels, hydrogen is an ideal candidate for this purpose. This is due to the high-energy value and lack of environment pollution generated on combustion, compared with conventional fossil fuel sources. Several researches have been done on Carbon Nanotube (C...
