Growth and characterization of CNT Forests using Bimetallic Nanoparticles as Catalyst
نویسندگان
چکیده
The synthesis of Fe, Fe-Pt and Fe-Co nanoparticles were carried out using the bottom-up polyol process using standard ari free techniques. Using these nanoparticles, multiwalled carbon nanotubes were synthesized in an atmospheric pressure plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition(APPECVD) process with a mixture of helium and acetylene gases. The APPECVD process produced dense carbon nanotube forests that were 30μm for Fe, 5μm for Fe-Pt and 80~100μm for Fe-Co nanoparticles.

The nanomaterials (catalyst and CNTs) were...
متن کاملMechanical coupling limits the density and quality of self-organized carbon nanotube growth.
Aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) structures are promising for many applications; however, as-grown CNT "forests" synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) are typically low-density and mostly comprise tortuous defective CNTs. Here, we present evidence that the density and alignment of self-organized CNT growth is limited by mechanical coupling among CNTs in contact, in combination with their ...
