Carbon Nanotubes Doped with 50 wt% Tin (Sn) Nanopowder/Nanoparticles

Description

Carbon Nanotubes Doped with 50 wt% Tin (Sn) Nanopowder/Nanoparticles

This hybrid nanomaterial combines the structural strength and electrical conductivity of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with the electrochemically active and conductive properties of tin (Sn) nanoparticles. With 50 wt% tin uniformly doped into the CNT matrix, this composite exhibits enhanced performance in electronic, energy storage, and catalytic applications.

The tin nanoparticles are spherical in shape, black in color, with a particle size of approximately 50 nm and a high purity of 99.9%. With a specific surface area ranging from 60 to 90 m²/g and a true density of 7.4 g/cm³, they contribute to improved charge storage capacity and conductivity. The MWCNTs, with >97 wt% purity and high aspect ratio, further elevate the material’s mechanical integrity and electron transport capability.
