Özet (Çeviri)
Nanomaterials and nanotechnologies have attracted a great deal of attention in a few decades due to their novel physical properties such as, high aspect ratio, surface morphology, impurities, etc. which lead to unique chemical, optical and electronic properties. The awareness of importance of nanomaterials has motivated researchers to develop nanomaterial growth techniques to further control nanostructures properties such as, size, surface morphology, etc. that may alter their fundamental behavior. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are one of the most promising materials with their rigidity, strength, elasticity and electric conductivity for future applications. Despite their excellent properties explored by the abundant research works, there is big challenge to introduce them into the macroscopic world for practical applications. This thesis first gives a brief overview of the CNTs, it will then go on mechanical and oil absorption properties of macro-scale CNT assemblies, then following CNT energy storage applications and finally fundamental studies of defect introduced graphene systems. Chapter Two focuses on helically coiled carbon nanotube (HCNT) foams in compression. Similarly to other foams, HCNT foams exhibit preconditioning effects in response to cyclic loading; however, their fundamental deformation mechanisms are unique. Bulk HCNT foams exhibit super-compressibility and recover more than 90% of large compressive strains (up to 80%). When subjected to striker impacts, HCNT foams mitigate impact stresses more effectively compared to other CNT foams comprised of non-helical CNTs (~50% improvement). The unique mechanical properties we revealed demonstrate that the HCNT foams are ideally suited for applications in packaging, impact protection, and vibration mitigation. The third chapter describes a simple method for the scalable synthesis of threedimensional, elastic, and recyclable multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) based light weight bucky-aerogels (BAGs) that are capable of efficiently absorbing non-polar solvents and separating oil-in-water emulsions. Furthermore, BAGs exhibit resilience to impact by recovering more than 70% of the deformation. The energy dissipated by BAGs at 80% compressive strain is in the order of 500 kJm-3, which is nearly 50 times more than the energy dissipated by commercial foams with similar densities. In the forth chapter, we demonstrate the synthesis of high-surface area, polymermodified carbon nanotube (or helically coiled carbon nanotube (HCNT))“paper”electrodes for high-power, high-energy density supercapacitors using simple fabrication methods. The use of conductive, high surface area carbon nanomaterials allows for the utilization of low-cost, non-conductive polymers containing reversible redox groups with higher charge capacity, such as sulfonated lignin. Compared to electrodes containing only helically coiled carbon nanotubes (80 Fg-1), paper electrodes fabricated with redox polymers show an increase in electrode capacitance to over 600 Fg-1 along with an increase in charge capacity from 20 mA hrg-1 to 80 mA hrg-1. Chapter Five presents a scalable roll-to-roll (R2R) spray coating process for synthesizing randomly oriented multi-walled carbon nanotubes electrodes on Al foils. The coin and jellyroll type supercapacitors comprised such electrodes yield high power densities (~700 mW/cm3) and energy densities (1 mW h/cm3) on par with Li-ion thin film batteries. These devices exhibit excellent cycle stability with no loss in performance over more than a thousand cycles. In the sixth chapter, we have indicated a methodology for both increasing and decreasing the electrochemical capacitance of Few Layer Graphene based nano-graphites through a combination of argon and hydrogen-based plasma processing. In addition to the utility for charge storage, our work contributes to understanding and controlling the charge storage characteristics. In the final chapter, we have investigated a nitrogen-doped graphene. We demonstrate through Raman spectroscopy, nonlinear optical and ultrafast spectroscopy, and density functional theory that the graphitic dopant configuration is stable in graphene and does not significantly alter electron–electron or electron–phonon scattering, that is otherwise present in doped graphene, by preserving the crystal coherence length (La).
