This SBIR Phase I project will develop a carbon nanotube based filament that acts as an electron emitter. The carbon nanotube filament will be applied to air handling systems for the purpose of reducing volatile organic compounds and biological contaminants. When a voltage is applied to the carbon nanotube filament it emits an electron beam. Contaminants that are within the reaction chamber react with electrons and decompose into less toxic materials.The broader/commercial impact of the project will be the development of an improved electron beam source that requires lower voltage and does not produce x-ray radiation. The technology addresses both chemical and biological contaminants in air, which will make it an attractive solution with marketing potential. The device will be scalable from larger, commercial air handling systems to smaller-scale office and in-home devices.

该SBIR第一阶段项目将开发一种基于碳纳米管的灯丝，用作电子发射器。 碳纳米管丝将应用于空气处理系统，以减少挥发性有机化合物和生物污染物。当向碳纳米管细丝施加电压时，它发射电子束。 反应室内的污染物与电子发生反应并分解成毒性较低的物质。该项目的更广泛/商业影响将是开发一种改进的电子束源，该电子束源需要较低的电压，并且不产生X射线辐射。 该技术解决了空气中的化学和生物污染物，这将使其成为具有市场潜力的有吸引力的解决方案。 该设备将可从较大的商用空气处理系统扩展到较小规模的办公室和家庭设备。
