Comparison of two methods of carbon nanotube synthesis: CVD and supercritical process (A review)
A carbon nanotube (CNT) is a miniature cylindrical carbon structure that has hexagonalgraphite molecules attached at the edges. Nanotubes look like a powder or black soot, but they'reactually rolled-up sheets of graphene that form hollow strands with walls that are only one atom thick.Carbon nanotube has been one of the most actively explored materials in recent year(s) due to...
متن کاملOrganometallic precursor route to carbon nanotubes*
Multi-walled as well as single-walled carbon nanotubes are conveniently prepared by the pyrolysis of organometallic precursors, such as metallocenes and phthalocyanines, in a reducing atmosphere. Pyrolysis of organometallics alone or in mixture with hydrocarbons also yields aligned nanotube bundles with useful field emission properties. By pyrolyzing organometallics in the presence of thiophene...
متن کاملDirect synthesis of long single-walled carbon nanotube strands.
In the processes that are used to produce single-walled nanotubes (electric arc, laser ablation, and chemical vapor deposition), the typical lengths of tangled nanotube bundles reach several tens of micrometers. We report that long nanotube strands, up to several centimeters in length, consisting of aligned single-walled nanotubes can be synthesized by the catalytic pyrolysis of n-hexane with a...
متن کاملPolymorphic Transformation of Iron-Phthalocyanine and the Effect on Carbon Nanotube Synthesis
Organometallic compounds such as phthalocyanine are useful precursors for carbon nanotube formation by pyrolysis because they can supply both carbon and metal catalysts needed for synthesis. Prior milling of iron-phthalocyanine (FePc, FeC32H16N8) is investigated and shown to affect the sublimation temperature of the precursor and the nanotube diameter. Without prior milling, a sublimation tempe...
متن کاملSynthesis and Application of Functionalized Carbon Nanotube Infused Polymer Membrane (fCNT/PSF/PVA) for Treatment of Phenol-Containing Wastewater
In this study, polymer composite membranes comprising carbon nanotube (CNT), polysulfone (PSF) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) were synthesized via the phase inversion method and used to remove phenol from the phenol-containing wastewater. The fabricated membranes were reinforced with the functionalized carbon nanotubes (fCNTs) and coated with PVA to enhance their mechanical strength and anti-fouli...
