Well-aligned multi-walled carbon nanotubes emitting natural white-light under microwave irradiation

Jun-Wei Su, Shangjr Gwo and Kuan-Jiuh Lin


Low-cost black coating with freestanding well-aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs), fabricated from CNT-dispersive in water-soluble poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) matrix, exhibits a bright white-light emission with narrow-band RGB (red, green, blue) colors having CIE (0.327, 0.349) chromaticity coordinate when subjected to the microwave irradiation.
