Diameter modulation of vertically aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes.
We demonstrate wide-range diameter modulation of vertically aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) using a wet chemistry prepared catalyst. In order to ensure compatibility to electronic applications, the current minimum mean diameter of 2 nm for vertically aligned SWNTs is challenged. The mean diameter is decreased to about 1.4 nm by reducing Co catalyst concentrations to 1/100 or by i...
متن کاملOptical characterization of vertically aligned single-walled carbon nanotube arrays
Here we discuss spectroscopic investigation and characterization of vertically aligned single-walled carbon nanotube (VA-SWNT) arrays, which were synthesized using the alcohol catalytic CVD method [1]. Growth of the VA-SWNTs was monitored using an in situ absorbance measurement [2], which provides information about the growth process. Primary methods employed were Resonance Raman and UV-Vis-NIR...
متن کاملGrowth Process of Vertically Aligned Single-walled Carbon Nanotubes
The growth process of vertically aligned single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) films was investigated by means of in situ optical analysis and scanning electron microscopy. The measurements reveal that the growth of the SWNT film decreases after longer reaction times. This decrease is attributed to a combination of a diminishing growth rate and burning of the SWNTs due to oxygen in the growth ch...
متن کاملA Growth Mechanism for Vertically Aligned Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
One of the difficulties in developing practical nanotube-based devices is the large-scale production of aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Due to their novel electronic and thermal properties, single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) show great potential for use a variety of applications . The alignment of SWNTs has been reported, but only parallel to the substrate in the presence of strong electric or ma...
متن کاملMultiple “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...
