This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project intends to demonstrate the technical and commercial feasibility of cost- and energy-efficient conversion of carbon-containing feedstocks to well- defined carbon nanotubes. The proposed work will include a) the proof of concept of high-yield synthesis of carbon nanotubes in premixed flames with catalyst precursors added to the initial feed gas and b) the establishment of correlations between yields and characteristics of carbon nanotubes and experimental. Results will provide qualitative insight in the formation mechanism(s) whereas kinetic modeling will assist in the identification of optimized operating conditions. The unique electrical, mechanical and chemical properties of carbon nanotubes allow for a large range of applications. Some of them, such as their use as field emitters in flat panel displays, are approaching market maturity while an inexpensive supply of well-defined carbon nanotubes is currently missing. Results of the proposed work are expected to have a significant impact on the achievement of the technological and commercial potential of carbon nanotubes.

这一小型企业创新研究(SBIR)第一阶段项目旨在证明将含碳原料转化为定义明确的碳纳米管具有成本和能源效益的技术和商业可行性。拟议的工作将包括：a)证明在预混火焰中使用催化剂前体在初始进气中高产率地合成碳纳米管的概念，以及b)建立碳纳米管的产率和性质与实验之间的关联。结果将为形成机理提供定性的见解(S)，而动力学建模将有助于确定最佳操作条件。碳纳米管独特的电学、力学和化学性质使其具有广泛的应用前景。它们中的一些，例如用作平板显示器的场发射器，正接近市场成熟，而目前还缺乏定义明确的廉价碳纳米管供应。预计拟议工作的结果将对实现碳纳米管的技术和商业潜力产生重大影响。
