the atmospheric pressure chemical vapor synthesis (apcvs) route is a process that can be used for the synthesis of doped-nanocrystalline powders with very small crystallite sizes having a narrow particle size distribution and high purity. in this study, apcvs technique was used to prepare boron-doped titania nanopowders. the effects of temperature, borate flow rate and water flow rate on the am...

A carbon nanotube (CNT) is a miniature cylindrical carbon structure that has hexagonalgraphite molecules attached at the edges. Nanotubes look like a powder or black soot, but they'reactually rolled-up sheets of graphene that form hollow strands with walls that are only one atom thick.Carbon nanotube has been one of the most actively explored materials in recent year(s) due to...

we evaluated the effect of fe/alumina catalyst contained different cadmium contents and two synthesis temperatures on producing carbon nanotubes by chemical vapor deposition of methane as a feedstock.  x-ray powder diffraction (xrd), n2 adsorption-desorption, scanning electron microscopy (sem), transmission electron microscopy (tem), raman spectroscopy and thermogravimetry analysis (tga) were u...

For the first time, patterned growth of boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) on Si substrates has been achieved by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD). Following the boron oxide chemical pathway and our growth vapor trapping approach, high quality and quantity BNNTs can be produced. Effective catalysts have been found to facilitate the growth of BNNTs, while some critical parameters of the sy...

The synthesis of singleand double-wall carbon nanotubes by gas flow-modified, catalyst-supported chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) is reported. We have investigated the gas flow condition dependence on the synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by placing blocks in the CCVD reactor. Carbon nanotubes having large diameters are preferentially grown under turbulent flow conditions. This indicates tha...

CdS synthesis by plasma-enhanced microwave physical vapor transport (PMPVT) has been developed in this work. The photoluminescence (PL), absorbance, Raman spectra and the mechanism of CdS crystal growth have been investigated. Furthermore, plasma-enhanced microwave chemical vapour transport (PMCVT) synthesis of CdS with additional chemical transport agents has been explored. In addition, other ...
