Abstract

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are nanometric scale sp2 carbon bonded materials with a tube-like structure formed by rolling-up graphene sheet(s) in a seamless way into a cylinder with open or closed ends (De Volder et al in Science 339:535–539, 2013 [1]; Kumar et al in Prog Energy Combust Sci 64:219–253 2018 [2]; Chinnappan et al in J Mater Chem A 4:9347–9361 [3]).
