Abstract

Advances in the synthesis and scalable manufacturing of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) remain critical to realizing many important commercial applications. Here we review recent breakthroughs in the synthesis of SWCNTs and highlight key ongoing research areas and challenges. A few key applications that capitalize on the properties of SWCNTs are also reviewed with respect to the recent synthesis breakthroughs and ways in which synthesis science can enable advances in these applications. While the primary focus of this review is on the science framework of SWCNT growth, we draw connections to mechanisms underlying the synthesis of other 1D and 2D materials such as boron nitride nanotubes and graphene.

This review was stimulated by the “2017 Guadalupe Workshop on the Nucleation and Growth Mechanisms of Atomically-thin Nanomaterials: From SWCNTs to 2D Crystals”, held at the Flying L Guest Ranch in Bandera, Texas, between April 21 and 25, 2017. The authors are grateful to John Marsh, Andrea Zorbas, and Ginny Whitaker at Rice University for logistical support and would like to acknowledge those agencies and grants that have funded their research within the Workshop’s subject: AFOSR (LRIR #16RXCOR322, FA9550-14-1-0107), NSF (CBET-1605848), ONR, DOE (DE-FG02-06ER15836), and the Welch Foundation (C-1590).
