High yield production of defect less carbon nanotubes in an arc process

چکیده
An efficient modified arc plasma method, where a focusing electric field is superimposed on the arc electric field, is optimized for the bulk generation of highly pure multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs). Raman spectroscopy and thermogravimetric measurements have been used to optimize the process. It was found that, at the optimized focusing field configuration, this process can utilize about 85% of the consumed anode material as compared to about 35% in the conventional arc plasma method. The sample prepared at the optimized conditions exhibited negligible D band intensity along with a reduced line width (14cm-1) of the G band in the Raman spectrum. The oxidation temperature of this

متن کاملHigh-yield synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes by gravity-free arc discharge
Single-walled carbon nanotubes ~SWNTs! have been produced in high yield by the dc arc discharge technique under gravity-free conditions. Gravity-free conditions can reduce the convection flow of the buffer gas during the arc discharge, which results in the increase of high thermostatic volume around the arc flame. The yields of both the total soot and SWNTs in soot are significantly increased. ...
