Abstract:

Graphene films were fabricated over synthesized MCM-41 nanocatalyst by chemical vapordeposition method, and the reaction was carried in atmospheric pressure at 750˚C. Acetylenegas used as a carbon precursor and the synthesis reaction took place in hydrogen atmosphere.Mesoporous MCM-41 was synthesized at room temperature, using wet chemical method. Thesynthesized metal free catalyst was characterized by XRD and N2 adsorption isotherms. Thecatalytically synthesized graphene layers were characterized by Raman spectroscopy, scanningelectron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results indicatedthat the favorable effect of MCM-41 with high BET surface area (908.76 m2/g) as an activemetal free nanocatalyst for fabricating graphene layers with high level of purity and homogeneity.Because of simplicity, easy purification, and high yield of graphene synthesis offered bythis method, it is possible to use it in larger scales.

The Preparation of Bamboo-Structured Carbon Nanotubes with the Controlled Porosity by CVD of Acetylene on Co-Mo/MCM-41

Bamboo-structured carbon nanotubes are grown on Co-Mo/MCM-41 catalyst in the temperature range of 873-973 K by thermal chemical vapor deposition of acetylene. This study shows that the purified carbon nanotubes have open tips and the metals of the catalyst are not encapsulated. Thus, the bamboo-structure seems to grow from the base. Pore size distribution of the product is quite narrow and ...

Nitrogen-doped twisted graphene grown on copper by atmospheric pressure CVD from a decane precursor

We present Raman studies of graphene films grown on copper foil by atmospheric pressure CVD with n-decane as a precursor, a mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen as the carrier gas, under different hydrogen flow rates. A novel approach for the processing of the Raman spectroscopy data was employed. It was found that in particular cases, the various parameters of the Raman spectra can be assigned to ...

Growth of CNTs over Fe–Co/Nanometric TiO2 Catalyst by CVD: The Effects of Catalyst Composition and Growth Temperature

   In this research carbon nanotubes were produced by chemical vapor deposition of acetylene over a mixture of iron and cobalt catalysts supported on nanometric TiO2 and the influences of two synthesis parameters: growth temperature and catalyst composition ratio on properties of end-product carbon nanotubes were investigated. The catalytic basis was prepared by wet impregnation ...

Photoactive Thin Silver Films by Atmospheric Pressure CVD

We report the visible and UV activity of thin silver films. The films are grown using a CVD process employing aqueous-based silver precursors, flame-assisted chemical vapour deposition. This approach overcomes many of the previously encountered limitations to silver deposition by employing an atmospheric pressure process, low-cost and low-toxicity precursors. The resultant films are assessed fo...
