General description

  • Single-walled carbon nanohorns are made of graphene sheets with long cone-shaped tips with the diameters of 2-5 nm and the length of 40-50 nm. Thousands of carbon nanohorns form spherical aggregates of about 100 nm in diameter.
  • Uniform size
  • High dispersion
  • High purity, no metallic compound
  • Large surface area
  • Utilization of internal space in carbon nanohorn
  • Holes were formed on the sheath of carbon nanohorn by oxidation treatments. Several materials can be accessible into thecarbon nanohorn sheath.
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product belongs to Enabling category of greener alternatives thus aligns with "Design for energy efficency". Carbon nanohorns are ideal materials due to its impressive material properties such as mechanical strength, thermal and electrical conductivity. Click here for more information.

Application

  • Energy management system:
Capacitor (good discharge rate, high capacity)
Fuel cell (Good support materials for catalyst metal such as platinum)
  • Medical :Carrier containing the anticancer drug
  • Gas adsorption: Adsorption of highly reactive gas
  • Compound material: Additive for characteristic improvement (improve electrical properties)
