Chemical Vapor Deposition of Carbon Nanotubes on Monolayer Graphene Substrates: Reduced Etching via Suppressed Catalytic Hydrogenation Using C2H4
In most envisioned applications, the full utilization of a graphene-carbon nanotube (CNT) construct requires maintaining the integrity of the graphene layer during the CNT growth step. In this work, we exhibit an approach toward controlled CNT growth atop graphene substrates where the reaction equilibrium between the source hydrocarbon decomposition and carbon saturation into and precipitation ...
متن کاملGrowth of carbon nanostructures upon stainless steel and brass by thermal chemical vapor deposition method
The lack of complete understanding of the substrate effects on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) growth poses a lot oftechnical challenges. Here, we report the direct growth of nanostructures such as the CNTs on stainless steel 304and brass substrates using thermal chemical vapor deposition (TCVD) process with C2H2 gas as carbon sourceand hydrogen as supporting gas mixed in Ar gas flow. We used an especi...

Using C2H2, 112 and As gases at 550'C, carbon nanotubes were fabricated on the surfaces of twosubstrates coated by nano thin layers of metal catalysts by DC magnetron sputtering. AYStamless steel andFe/CteAl, by thermal chemical vapor deposition (TCVD) The surface properties of the substrates wereparticularly investigated, and the effect of treatment of the substrates on the CNT's growth is cri...
متن کاملOut-of-plane growth of CNTs on graphene for supercapacitor applications.
This paper describes the fabrication and characterization of a hybrid nanostructure comprised of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) grown on graphene layers for supercapacitor applications. The entire nanostructure (CNTs and graphene) was fabricated via atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD) and designed to minimize self-aggregation of the graphene and CNTs. Growth parameters of the CNTs w...
متن کاملHydrodynamic Studies of Fluidized Bed Chemical Vapor Deposition Reactors to Produce Carbon Nano Tubes via Catalytic Decomposition over Co/Pd MgO
The hydrodynamic studies of fluidized bed reactor has been reported in terms of pressure drop, minimum fluidization velocity and bed volume expansion to contribute to the optimization of the CNTs production parameters in fluidized bed reactors. Minimum fluidization velocity and pressure drop, as the most important parameters, were taken into account for the investigation of the hydrodynamic beh...
