摘要:

控制碳纳米管的手性和产量对于其在宏观复合材料到纳米电子学中的多样化应用至关重要。浮化催化剂化学气相沉积被广泛用于可扩展的合成路线,其中催化剂不可避免地穿越空间变化的环境。然而,现有的纳米管生长解释大多依赖于群体监测或静态的生长后快照。在这里,我们结合数字同位素标记与编程温度调制,重建支撑的单个纳米管的动态生长历史。生长速率表现出滞后性和对温度变化的异常敏感性,表明催化剂不可逆地粗化;然而,纳米管的手性在超过300微米的长度上保持稳健。这种在纳米管生长中动能适应性和结构记忆之间的鲜明对比表明,手性控制可以在成核阶段建立,同时允许后续延伸的独立优化。我们的发现进一步要求重新审视从生长后快照中得出的直径确定机制的静态解释。

英文摘要:

Controlling the chirality and yield of carbon nanotubes is essential for their diverse applications from macroscopic composites to nanoelectronics. Floating-catalyst chemical vapor deposition is widely employed as a scalable synthesis route, where catalysts inevitably traverse spatially varying environments. However, prevailing interpretations of nanotube growth largely rely on ensemble monitoring or static, post-growth snapshots. Here, we combine digital isotope labeling with programmed temperature modulation to reconstruct the dynamic growth histories of supported individual nanotubes. Growth rates exhibit hysteresis and extraordinary sensitivity to temperature changes, indicating irreversible catalyst coarsening; nevertheless, the nanotube chirality remains robustly preserved across lengths exceeding 300 um. This sharp contrast between kinetic adaptability and structural memory in nanotube growth indicates that chirality control can be established at the nucleation stage, while allowing independent optimization of subsequent elongation. Our findings further call for a re-examination of static interpretations of diameter-determination mechanisms derived from post-growth snapshots.
