Abstract

Gaseous N₂ has been efficiently introduced in the hollow cavities of aligned CN(x) nanotubes (15-80 nm od) by pyrolysing a jet (spray) solution of Fe(C₅H₅)₂ and PhCH₂NH₂ in an Ar atmosphere at 850 °C; the aligned material consist of large arrays (2.5 cm²) of CN(x) (x < 0.05) 'bamboo-like' nanotubes (< 100 μm in length); high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS) line-scans and elemental mapping studies reveal that N gas was encapsulated within the hollow compartments of the CN(x) nanotubes; these results demonstrate for the first time, that CN(x) nanotubes can be used to fabricate gas storage components.
