One-pot preparation of iron/alumina catalyst for the efficient growth of vertically-aligned carbon nanotube forests

Multiple “optimum” conditions for Co-Mo catalyzed growth of vertically aligned single-walled carbon nanotube forests

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were grown directly on substrates by alcohol catalytic chemical vapor deposition using a Co-Mo binary catalyst. Optimum catalytic and reaction conditions were investigated using a combinatorial catalyst library. High catalytic activity areas on the substrate were identified by mapping the CNT yield against the orthogonal gradient thickness profiles of Co and Mo. The loca...

Engineering vertically aligned carbon nanotube growth by decoupled thermal treatment of precursor and catalyst.

We study synthesis of vertically aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) "forests" by a decoupled method that facilitates control of the mean diameter and structural quality of the CNTs and enables tuning of the kinetics for efficient growth to forest heights of several millimeters. The growth substrate temperature (T(s)) primarily determines the CNT diameter, whereas independent and rapid thermal treatm...

Aligned Growth of Single-Walled and Double- Walled Carbon Nanotube Films by Control of Catalyst Preparation

High density, vertically-aligned carbon nanotube membranes.

A method is presented to prepare high-density, vertically aligned carbon nanotube (VA-CNT) membranes. The CNT arrays were prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and the arrays were collapsed into dense membranes by capillary-forces due to solvent evaporation. The average space between the CNTs after shrinkage was approximately 3 nm, which is comparable to the pore size of the CNTs. Thus, ...
