The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method and apparatus for producing a carbon nanomaterial product (CNM) product that may comprise carbon nanotubes and various other allotropes of nanocarbon. The method and apparatus employ a consumable carbon dioxide (CO2) and a renewable carbonate electrolyte as reactants in an electrolysis reaction in order to make CNTs. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, operational conditions of the electrolysis reaction may be varied in order to produce the CNM product with a greater incidence of a desired allotrope of nanocarbon or a desired combination of two or more allotropes.
A method for producing a carbon nanomaterial (CNM) product, the method comprising steps of:
A carbon nanomaterial comprising a nano-dragon, wherein the nano-dragon has an elongated body carbon nanotube (CNT) with at least one protrusion that extend away from the elongated body CNT.
A carbon nanomaterial comprising a nano-belt with an ID/AG ratio of about 0.67, as measured by Raman spectroscopy.
Use of a desired nano-carbon allotrope in one or more of a medical device, a structural enhancement additive, a strength enhancement additive, an electrical conductivity enhancement additive, a themal conductivity enhancement additive, or a flexibility enhancement additive, a hardness enhancement additive, a durability enhancement additive, a lubrication enhancement additive, or as a catalyst, electric vehicles, cables or wires, athletic equipment, a pharmaceutical drug delivery system, an electronic, a battery, a super capacitor, a sensor, a plastic, a polymer, a textile, a hydrogen storage system, a light absorbing enhancement for a surface, an electromagnetic shielding enhancement for a surface, a surface treatment, a surface coating, a paint or a water treatment system, wherein the desired allotrope is a carbon nano-dragon or a carbon nano-belt.
