Iron–Scandium Catalyst Enables Longer Growth of Carbon Nanotube Forests

Caption

Researchers at Kindai University, Japan, discovered that combining iron with scandium significantly extends catalyst lifetime during carbon nanotube synthesis, enabling the growth of longer and higher-quality nanotube forests for future materials, energy, and sensing technologies.
