Abstract
A carbon nanocapsule thin film and the preparation method thereof. A plurality of carbon nanocapsules are electroplated on a substrate, and the carbon nanocapsule thin film is thereby formed. By electroplating purified carbon nanocapsules on the substrate, the carbon nanocapsule thin film, electric- and heat-conductive, chemical-resistive, and anti-oxidizing, is formed.
Claims20
A carbon nanocapsule thin film, prepared by electroplating a plurality of carbon nanocapsules onto a substrate, wherein the carbon nanocapsules comprise a functional group and the functional group carries at least one charge after dissociation,
- the carbon nanocapsule is a polyhedral carbon cluster constituted by having concentric multi-layers of closed graphitic sheet structure and the diameter of the carbon nanocapsule is about 3-100 nm,
- the substrate is an electrode for electroplating, and
- the functionalized carbon nanocapsules directly contact the substrate.
A method for preparing a carbon nanocapsule thin film, comprising:
- providing a substrate, wherein the substrate is an electrode for electroplating;
- and
- electroplating a plurality of carbon nanocapsules onto the substrate,
- wherein the carbon nanocapsules comprise a functional group and the functional group carries at least one charge after dissociation,
- the carbon nanocapsule is a polyhedral carbon cluster constituting multiple graphite layers having a balls-within-a ball structure and the diameter of the carbon nanocapsule is 3-100 nm, and
- the functionalized carbon nanocapsules directly contact the substrate.
