Abstract:

In this research, at first, Ce-substituted barium ferrite, BaCe0.2Fe11.8O19 was prepared via the sol-gel method as a substrate and then Carbon NanoTubes (CNTs) was synthesized on the surface of the substrate by Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) technique. The structure, morphology, and electromagnetic performance of the synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by XRD, FE-SEM, and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM), respectively. The results indicated that the BaCe0.2Fe11.8O19 particles were coated by CNTs, and the nanocomposite has magnetic properties. Therefore, the electromagnetic properties including complex permittivity (εr), the permeability (µr), and microwave absorption properties were investigated using a vector network analyzer. It was found that in the nanocomposite, because of the presence of CNTs, the Reflection Loss (RL) widely increased. The maximum reflection loss in the frequency range of 8-12 GHz for 2.5 mm thickness was -49.61 dB at 9.0 GHz. The results suggest that prepared nanocomposite can be suitable in the microwave absorbing coatings.

Optimized Conditions for Catalytic Chemical Vapor Deposition of Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotubes

Here, we have synthesized vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VA-CNTs), using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. Cobalt and ethanol are used as the catalyst and the carbon source, respectively. The effects of ethanol flow rate, thickness of Co catalyst film, and growth time on the properties of the carbon nanotube growth are investigated. The results show that the flow rate of ethanol and...

Large-Scale Synthesis of Rings of Bundled Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes by Floating Chemical Vapor Deposition

Since their discovery, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have attracted considerable attention due to their unique chemical and physical properties, as well as their promise in the area of materials chemistry. Using previously reported synthetic methods, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are always grown as long strings, and this string shape largely determines their properties. CNTs with annular ge...

Direct synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes bridging metal electrodes by laser-assisted chemical vapor deposition

Direct synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes SWNTs bridging prepatterned Mo electrodes has been achieved using laser-assisted chemical vapor deposition LCVD . The synthesized SWNTs are found predominantly semiconducting. By controlling the spot size of the focused laser beam, synthesis of SWNTs can be achieved in a localized manner, which is governed by the thermal and optical properties ...
