Carbon Nanotubes Doped with 50 wt% Cobalt (Co) Nanopowder/Nanoparticles

Description

Carbon Nanotubes Doped with 50 wt% Cobalt (Co) Nanopowder/Nanoparticles

This high-performance hybrid nanomaterial combines the electrical conductivity and mechanical resilience of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with the magnetic and catalytic properties of cobalt (Co) nanoparticles. By incorporating 50 wt% cobalt, this composite material delivers enhanced strength, conductivity, and functional versatility across a broad range of high-tech applications.

The cobalt nanoparticles used are near-spherical, black in color, and average 800 nm in size. With a high purity of 99.9% and a true density of 9.0 g/cm³, they provide robust magnetic and catalytic behavior. When uniformly integrated with high-purity (>97 wt%) MWCNTs, the result is a balanced nanomaterial ideal for use in advanced composites, energy systems, and biomedical technologies.
