Self-catalytic behavior of carbon nanotubes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Self-catalytic behavior of multi-walled carbon nanotubes is proposed and validated experimentally under the conditions in which metal catalysis was previously figured to work only. The self-catalysis could support the nanotube nucleation and radial and axial developing processes. This result should lead to a new and better understanding of the growth mechanism of carbon nanotubes in a metal catalytic process.

Hydrodynamic 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...
متن کاملEffects of Confinement in Carbon Nanotubes on the Performance and Lifetime of Fischer-Tropsch Iron Nano Catalysts
The effects of confinement in carbon nanotubes on Fischer-Tropsch (FT) activity, selectivity and lifetime of Carbon NanoTubes (CNTs) supported iron catalysts are reported. A method was developed to control the position of the catalytic sites on either inner or outer surface of carbon nanotubes. TEM analyses revealed that more than 80% of iron oxide particles can be controlled to be position...
