ABSTRACT
Recently amorphous carbon nanotube and their nanocomposites are most influenced
research topic in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Due to the presence of
dangling bond in amorphous carbon nanotube, it is easily reacting with other nanomaterial to
form into nanocomposites. For the beautiful electronic, physical and chemical properties of MoS2
nanosheets, ACNT-MoS2 nanocomposites are very much interested. Here in this paper, synthesis
procedure of amorphous carbon nanotube-molybdenum disulphide nanocomposite has been
reviewed. Some applications of ACNT-MoS2 nanocomposites were also described here.

Keywords: Amorphous carbon nanotube, MoS2, hydrothermal method, chemical route

INTRODUCTION deposition [25] methods. Moreover, the

Since the discovery of carbon nanotube [1]
by Iijima, it is most important material in
several applications for good
optoelectronic [2], physical [3] and
mechanical [4] properties. It has huge
applications in electromagnetic wave
absorber [5], supercapacitor, catalysis [6],
toughening the polymers [7], introducing
piezoelectricity in polymers [8-20] etc. It
has also good optical properties which can
be useful in optoelectronics applications.
However, carbon nanotubes can be of two
types: crystalline carbon nanotube [21] and
amorphous carbon nanotube [22].
Crystalline carbon nanotube has crystalline
in structure and amorphous carbon
nanotube has no such crystallinity. Carbon
nanotube can be synthesized by using
various methods like arc discharge [23],
laser ablation [24] and chemical vapour
synthesis procedure is quite complicated
and requires high temperature such as
above 8000C. On the other hand,
amorphous carbon nanotube can be
synthesized by using very low temperature
(less than 230°C) and it does not require
such sophisticated instruments.
Furthermore, amorphous carbon nanotube
can be formed into nanohybrids with other
nanomaterial easily due to the defects and
dangling bonds present in it. So
amorphous carbon nanotube can be a good
and effective replacement of crystalline
carbon nanotube in numerous applications.
Now a days, amorphous carbon nanotube
and their hybrids are very much interesting
topic in the field of nanoscience and
nanotechnology. Recently, nanohybrids of
amorphous carbon nanotube are very
crucial topic for the researchers and

scientists for their excellent chemical,
physical and optoelectronic properties.
Numerous nanomaterials such as MoS2,
WS2, CdS, MnO2 etc are used for the
preparation of amorphous carbon nanotube
nanohybrids. Carbon nanotube are two
types i.e. crystalline and amorphous. The
preparation conditions are quite
complicated, and instruments used for
synthesis of crystalline carbon nanotube
are very complex. Several methods such as
arc discharge, chemical vapour deposition,
laser vaporization, pyrolysis, plasma-
enhanced are used for the synthesis of
crystalline carbon nanotube. These
processes are quite compound and costly
in nature. In that case, amorphous carbon
nanotube can be synthesized by a single
step low temperature (2250C) chemical
process. The walls of ACNTs are
amorphous in nature and there is so many
defects and dangling bonds present in it.
For that it can easily react with other
nanomaterial to form into nanohybrids.
This nanohybrids can give tough
competition to crystalline carbon nanotube
in many applications. On the other hand,
single layer MoS2 are very stimulating
material for its fascinating optoelectronic
and physical properties. MoS2 nanosheets
can alter several properties of any material
when it reacts with other nanomaterial.
Here in this paper, ACNT-MoS2
nanohybrids [26-70] were synthesized by
using an eco-friendly method.
Characterizations of as prepared sample
have been characterized by field emission
scanning electron microscope, X-ray
diffraction, high resolution microscope and
Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy
instrument. Recently nanocomposite of
amorphous carbon nanotube becomes
interesting topic of research for their easy
synthesis procedure and amazing
properties. Based on the structure, carbon
nanotube are two types: crystalline and
amorphous. Crystalline carbon nanotube
has itself excellent physical, mechanical

and electronic properties. For all these
properties, it is used in numerous
applications of nanoscience and
nanotechnology. However, the procedure
such as arc discharge method, chemical
vapour deposition technique etc for
synthesis of crystalline carbon nanotube
are very much complicated and costly. In
that sense, amorphous carbon nanotubes
are growing their importance in several
fields of science and technology.
Moreover, the presence of dangling bonds
in amorphous carbon nanotube makes
them suitable to form into nanocomposite
by reacting easily with other nanomaterial
which shows excellent electronic, physical
and mechanical properties. Furthermore,
amorphous carbon nanotube can be
prepared by using a low temperature
(225°C) chemical process. Several
nanomaterials are present in the world
which shows ecstatic electronic and
physical properties. Among them, MoS2
nanomaterials has several applications in
the field of Li-ion battery, supercapacitor,
sensor etc for their excellent properties.
Layered MoS2 which is used rapidly as
lubricant and hydrogen evolution and
photocatalytic material, are bounded by
weak Vander wall force. Bandgap of this
material can be tuned by varying its
number of layers and photoluminescence
arising from the quantum confinement
effect in d-orbital related interaction in a
MoS2 monolayer is strong evidence of the
band-gap transition. Here in this paper, a
review about the ACNT-MoS2
nanocomposites prepared by
hydrothermal, eco-friendly, chemical route
and liquid phase method. Some
applications of ACNT-MoS2
nanocomposites were also mentioned here.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
At first, amorphous carbon nanotube is
prepared by a low temperature (225°C)
chemical process using Ferrocene
((C5H5)2Fe, Merck), ammonium chloride
Page 32
 International Journal of Nanomaterials and Nanostructure
(NH4Cl) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) as
principle material. First ferrocene and
ammonium chloride is taken in 1:2 weight
ratio. Then weighted material placed in a
mortar and grinded very well. After that,
the mixture is placed in a quartz beaker
and kept it in an oven with 225°C for 30
minutes. Then the black product is
washed with DI-water and dilutes HCL
repeatedly for removing the impurity
present in amorphous CNT. Finally, the
product is kept in an oven at 450C
temperature for 10 hrs.
Hydrothermal Method
Now 0.5 g of as prepared amorphous
carbon nanotube, 1.24 g of
Hexaammonium heptamolybdate
tetrahydrate and 2.28 g of thiourea are
taken in a 50ml deionized water containing
glass beaker. Then it is kept in a magnetic
stirrer for 40 min. with 400rpm for making
a homogenous solution. Then the solutions
is poured in a teflon lined autoclave and
closed securely. After that the sample
containing autoclave is being kept in an
oven with 1800C for 16hrs. Finally,
autoclave is cooled, and a black product is
collected. Finally, the as prepared samples
are vigorously washed with ethanol and di-
water and black product is dried by
keeping it in an oven with 600C for 8hrs.
Liquid Phase Exfoliation Method
For synthesis of ACNT-MoS2
nanohybrids, MoS2 powder is used as
precursor and isopropanol are used as
solvent. A measured quantity of MoS2
powder is taken in a beaker which is
contained previous mentioned solvent.
This beaker is kept in a ultrasonicator for
30 mins and then as prepared ACNT was
poured into this solution. Finally, the
mixed solutions were ultrasonicated for
more 10 minutes. After that the samples
were washed with distilled water and
absolute ethanol for several time and
filtered by a filter paper.

Eco-Friendly Method
Here, bulk MoS2, ultra tide detergent and
amorphous carbon nanotube are used as
main material. In this method, a 10 g
amount of bulk MoS2 are first stirred in a
50 ml of di-water (at 600C temperature)
and an amount of 20 g detergent (Ultra
Tide) for a fixed time and measured 400
rpm, followed by sonication using a solid
probe sonicator for 3 hrs. After that, 2 g of
ACNT is poured into that solutions and
stirred for 30 minutes with 400 rpm.
Finally, the samples are filtered and
washed with di-water and ethanol
repeatedly. Lastly the sample is kept in
an oven with a temperature of 500C for
10 hrs.
Chemical Route Method
Amorphous carbon nanotube and MoS2
nanosheets are used as principle material
in that process. For the synthesis of
nanohybrids, first 1 gm of ACNT and 2
gm of MoS2 nanosheets are poured into a
di-water containing glass beaker. Then the
beaker is placed in a magnetic stirrer and
vigorously stirred for 10 hrs with a speed
of 400 rpm. The product is filtered and
washed with di-water vigorously. Finally,
the sample is dried in a oven for 15 hrs
with a temperature of 500C.
APPLICATIONS OF ACNT-MOS2
NANOCOMPOSITES
ACNT-MoS2 nanocomposites are used in
several field of nanoscience and
nanotechnology. It is used as
electromagnetic wave absorber and dye
removal element from wastewater. In
paper industry huge amount of water and
toxic dye are used for colouring the paper.
Large amount of toxic dye contained water
is filtered by using ACNT-MoS2
nanocomposites for reusing this water.
These nanocomposites were also used as a
important element in developing
supercapacitor and lithium-ion battery.
