取向阵列结构是碳纳米管聚集体中的一种重要形式,可以通过化学气相沉积(CVD)技术可控制备,是实现碳纳米管结构与性能从微观向宏观跨越的重要桥梁.本文综述了近期碳纳米管阵列(包括水平阵列和垂直阵列)的制备技术进展,以及它们在纳电子器件、高性能纤维、功能薄膜与器件、能源存储等领域的应用现状,并对碳纳米管阵列制备与应用仍然面临的一些关键问题以及未来潜在的发展方向进行了分析和展望.
Aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays are the important forms of CNT aggregates, which can be controllably synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods. And they are the bridges that bring the excellent properties of CNT from nano-world to macro-world Here this review gives a brief overview of the control growth of CNT arrays including horizontally aligned CNT arrays and vertically aligned CNT arrays, and their applications in nano-electronics, high performance fibers, functional thin-film devices, energy storages and so on. Meanwhile, we also prospect the future development in basic research and applications of the aligned CNT arrays.
