  • Single-walled carbon nanotube and structure having layer laminated on said single-walled carbon nanotube, and method for producing same
    Patent number: 11702340
    Abstract: The present invention provides a laminate structure in which the properties of a single-walled CNT, which are susceptible to surrounding environment, are stabilized by protecting the surface of the single-walled CNT with a proper substance, and/or another property is imparted to the single-walled CNT. The present invention provides a structure which comprises a first single-walled carbon nanotube having a length of 50 nm or longer, preferably 100 nm or longer, and a second layer laminated on the first single-walled carbon nanotube, wherein the second layer comprises at least one substance selected from the group A consisting of first boron nitride, first transition metal dichalcogenide, second carbon, first black phosphorus and first silicon.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: July 18, 2023
    Assignee: THE UNIVERSITY OF TOKYO
    Inventors: Shigeo Maruyama, Rong Xiang, Taiki Inoue
  • Carbon nanotube array, material, electronic device, process for producing carbon nanotube array, and process for producing field effect transistor
    Patent number: 11005046
    Abstract: In order to obtain a carbon nanotube array including no m-CNTs through simple steps using a mechanism that is different from thermocapillary flow, there are provided a process for producing a carbon nanotube array including (A) a step of preparing a carbon nanotube array in which m-CNTs and s-CNTs are horizontally aligned; (B) a step of forming an organic layer on the carbon nanotube array; (C) a step of applying voltage to the carbon nanotube array in a long axis direction of the carbon nanotubes constituting the carbon nanotube array in the air; and (D) a step of removing the organic layer, and a carbon nanotube array obtained by the process.
