Electrode And Sensor Having Carbon Nanostructures
US Patent:
2011010, May 5, 2011
Filed:
Sep 23, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/889019

International Classification:
G01R 27/08, H01B 5/00, C40B 60/12, B82Y 30/00
US Classification:
324693, 1741262, 506 39, 977734, 977742, 977932
Abstract:
An active electrode structure is disclosed that includes fullerenes produced by a carbo-thermal carbide conversion of a conductive carbide without a metal catalyst. Also disclosed is an electrode that includes a fullerene covalently bonded to a conductive carbide, the fullerene being an aligned or non-aligned array. The carbide substrate having a surface coating of covalently bonded fullerenes is characterized in that the peak separation of a cyclic voltammogram for the conductive carbide having a surface layer of the fullerene is less than about 150 mV at a scan rate of 5 mV/s in a 4 mM ferricyanide, 1M KCl solution. The fullerene may include about 50% or less non-crystalline carbon and about 5% or less of a transition metal that interferes with the ability of the active electrode structure to transfer electrons or detect an analyte.
Method For Production Of Carbon Nanostructures
US Patent:
2011003, Feb 10, 2011
Filed:
Apr 7, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/936433

International Classification:
D01F 9/12, C01B 31/02, B82Y 40/00
US Classification:
4234477, 423445 R, 977840, 977842
Abstract:
A process for the production of carbon nanostructures by an oxidation-reduction method is described. The growth of carbon nanorods, nanotubes, and nanoclusters on planar and non planar substrates, and free standing is demonstrated. In one embodiment a reactive gas is generated in situ and reacted with a carbide while the byproducts are removed, thereby adjusting the equilibrium to favor the formation of the carbon nanostructured product.

Abstract:
An active electrode structure is disclosed that includes fullerenes produced by conversion from a carbide. Also disclosed is an electrode that includes a fullerene covalently bonded to a carbide, the fullerene being an aligned or non-aligned array. The fullerene is included in an active electrode structure of the electrode that also includes about 50% or less non-crystalline carbon and about 5% or less of a transition metal that interferes with the ability of the active electrode structure to transfer electrons or detect an analyte. The active electrode substrate or the electrode may be included in a sensor.
