Manufacturing of high performance transparent conducting electrodes from very long and a proportion individual SWCNTs using the ethylene floating catalyst CVD process.
In floating catalyst chemical vapor deposition (FC-CVD), tuning chirality distribution and obtaining narrow of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is challenging.
