3D Macroporous Solids from Chemically Cross‐linked Carbon Nanotubes. Issue 6 (15th October 2014) - Ozden, Sehmus
Abstract Suzuki reaction for covalently interconnected 3D carbon nanotube (CNT) architectures is reported. The synthesis of 3D macroscopic solids made of CNTs covalently connected via Suzuki cross‐coupling, a well‐known carbon–carbon covalent bond forming reaction in organic chemistry, is scalable. The resulting solid has a highly porous, interconnected structure of chemically cross‐linked CNTs. Its use for the removal of oil from contaminated water is demonstrated.
