Mineralization occurs during weathering of silicate materials/rocks rich in CA+ and Mg+, particularly peridotite which composes Earth's upper mantle. The carbon mineralization mantle peridotite is the base activated carbon for nanostructured-carbon-base-material. The nanostructured-carbon-base-material using mantle peridotite carbon mineralization based activated carbon nanotubes is a new catalyst for batteries and fuel-cell use that doesn't use precious metal such as platinum and that performs as effectively as many well-known, expensive precious-metal catalysts. The nanostructured-carbon-base-material using mantle peridotite carbon mineralization based activated carbon nanotubes makes possible the creation of economical lithium-air batteries that could power electric vehicles. The carbon nanotubes have useful qualities such as slim, strong, lightweight, high electronic conductivity, has metallic/semiconductive properties that are useful in (1) electronics i.e. wiring, transistor; (2) material that reinforced resin/metal; (3) energy source i.e. catalysis support, ion adsorption, capacitors; (4) nanotechnology i.e. nanostructure; and (5) biotechnology i.e. cell cultivating, drug delivery system, biosensor.
1) Carbon nanotubes formed from a process comprising:
2) A catalyst for battery and fuel-cell use comprising nanostructured-carbon-base material, wherein the nanostructured-carbon-base material is mantle peridotite carbon mineralized based activated carbon nanotubes.
3) A nanostructured-carbon-base-material comprising mantle peridotite carbon mineralization based activated carbon nanotubes, wherein the carbon nanotubes provide material that has strong adsorption, high affinity binding, and high surface area properties, such that the material is useful in biotechnology applications selected from the group consisting of a biosensor, a drug delivery system, and cultivation of cells.
