  • Title: Cobalt-filled apoferritin for suspended single-walled carbon nanotube growth with narrow diameter distribution.
    Author: Jeong GH, Yamazaki A, Suzuki S, Yoshimura H, Kobayashi Y, Homma Y.
    Journal: J Am Chem Soc; 2005 Jun 15; 127(23):8238-9. PubMed ID: 15941229.
    Abstract:
    Cobalt-filled apoferritin (Co-ferritin) was, for the first time, used as a wet catalyst for the synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with narrow diameter distribution. Co-ferritins were spin-coated and converted to cobalt nanoparticles by calcination. Using chemical vapor deposition, suspended networks of SWNTs were formed on pillar-structured substrates. The suspended SWNTs show narrow tube diameter distribution with a relatively good graphite structure. By virtue of the low diffusion coefficient of cobalt, Co-ferritin might be more useful for narrow diameter SWNTs growth than ferritins, which encase iron particles.
