Synthesis of single- and multi-wall carbon nanotubes over supported catalysts

The quantities of deposited carbon were measured and the quality of the nanotubes was characterized by means of transmission electron microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy. The inner and outer diameters of the nanotubes were also measured and the diameter distribution histograms were established. The multi-wall straight and coiled nanotubes were found to be quite regular with an average inner (outer) diameter of 4–7 nm (15–25 nm) and with lengths up to 50 μm. The walls contain concentric cylindrical graphene sheets separated by the graphitic interlayer distance. The single-wall nanotubes were found as bundles of hundreds of aligned straight 1-nm-diameter nanotubes with lengths up to 1-μm. The influence of various parameters such as the method of catalyst preparation, the nature and the pore size of the support, the nature of the metal, the quantity of catalyst active particles, and the reaction conditions on the nanotubes formation were studied. The numbers and dimensions of the catalyst active particles dispersed on the support were found to be of importance in regulating the shape of the produced nanotubes. Following these results, a model of growth mechanism was suggested for the nanotubes obtained by this method. Received: 5 January 1998     

Preparation of carbon nanosheets deposited on carbon nanotubes by microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition method

Carbon nanosheets were synthesized by microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition method on carbon nanotubes substrate which was treated by hydrogen plasma. The results showed that the diameters of carbon nanotubes first got thick and then “petal-like” carbon nanosheets were grown on the outer wall of carbon nanotubes. The diameters of carbon nanotubes without and with carbon nanosheets were 100-150 and 300-500 nm, respectively. Raman spectrum indicated the graphite structure of carbon nanotubes/carbon nanosheets. The hydrogen plasma treatment and reaction time greatly affected the growth and density of carbon nanosheets. Based on above results, carbon nanosheets/carbon nanotubes probably have important applications as cold cathode materials and electrode materials.     

Effect of adding W to Fe catalyst on the synthesis of SWCNTs by arc discharge

Combining iron (Fe) and tungsten (W) as a bimetallic catalyst, we synthesized high-yield single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) of narrow diameter distribution by a hydrogen–argon arc discharge method. Raman spectra indicate that the diameters of SWCNTs prepared using the Fe–W catalysts are about 0.5 nm smaller than those using Fe catalyst alone. The transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction studies show that the SWCNTs prepared by the bimetallic catalyst coexist with few graphite flakes and other amorphous carbon. At the W content of 2–4 at%, tungsten cannot be found in the SWCNT samples. Thus by using a simple two-step purification process, high-purity SWCNT samples can be obtained. We have demonstrated the growth mechanism for the high melting metal (such as W, Mo)–Fe catalyst synthesis of SWCNTs by the arc discharge method.     

Effect of carbon addition on synthesis of BN nanolayers encapsulating Fe fine particles and BN nanotubes

Boron nitride (BN) nanolayers encapsulating iron (Fe) fine particles and BN nanotubes were synthesized by annealing mixture powders of hematite, boron and carbon (C) at 1473 K for 2 h in a nitrogen atmosphere. The particles exhibited good soft magnetic properties. The thickness of BN nanolayers increased in the range of 10-100 nm with increasing C content in the mixture powders, which results in providing improvement of oxidation resistance of the particles. In the BN layers, no C was detected. BN nanotubes with diameters of ∼100 nm were also synthesized, and they had cup-stacked and bamboo-like structures.     

CVD synthesis and radial deformations of large diameter single-walled CNTs

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were synthesized by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method on transmission electron microscopy (TEM) silica coated nickel grids using carbon monoxide as carbon source and iron nanoparticles as catalyst. The produced CNTs were as large as 11 nm in diameter. Investigations on the CNT deformations based on high-resolution TEM images showed that the deformation of CNTs due to their interaction with the substrate occurs at diameters larger than 2.7 nm. Small deformation of free standing tubes was found to occur at diameters above approximately 4.5 nm.     

Effects of catalysts on the internal structures of carbon nanotubes and corresponding electron field-emission properties

Using a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, multi-walled carbon nanotubes with uniform diameters of approximately 10 nm were synthesized on silicon substrates by the decomposition of acetylene using Fe, Co and Ni as the catalysts. Catalyst effects on the internal structures of the carbon nanotubes were evident in the Fe, Co and Ni catalyzed nanotubes. Although these nanotubes demonstrated similar morphologies, due to the variety of internal structures, the nanotubes synthesized from different catalysts demonstrated various electron field-emission characteristics including turn-on field, threshold field and field enhancement factor. Compared with carbon nanotubes from Ni catalyst, nanotubes from Fe and Co with the same diameters have better field-emission properties. Graphite layers in nanotubes from Fe and Co are much straighter and more parallel to the tube axis with fewer defects. For instance, the turn-on field and threshold field for nanotubes from Ni are 5 V/m and 9 V/m, respectively. These electric fields are much higher than those for nanotubes from Fe, which are 0.35 V/m and 2.8 V/m, respectively. This could be due to the effect of catalysts on the work function of nanotubes, since the catalyst particle usually terminates the free end of the nanotube, and the influence of internal structure on electron transportation along the nanotube axis. Therefore, this study suggests that besides a small diameter, good graphitization (crystallization) is an important prerequisite for a good carbon nanotube emitter.

From Si nanowire to SiC nanotube

Si nanowires (NWs), with diameters of about 800 nm and lengths of about 10 ??m, previously synthesized by the VLS method with gold catalyst, were carburized at 1,100 °C under methane for conversion into SiC nanostructures. These experiments have shown that Si NWs have been transformed into SiC nanotubes (NTs) with approximately the same sizes. Nanotubes?? sidewall thickness varies from 20 to 150 nm depending on the NTs?? height. These SiC nanotubes are hexagonal in shape and polycrystalline. A model of growth based on the out-diffusion of Si through the SiC layer was proposed to explain the transformation from Si nanowires to SiC nanotubes. This model was completed with thermodynamic calculations on the Si?CH₂?CCH₄?CO₂ system and with results from complementary experiment using propane precursor. Routes for obtaining crystalline SiC NTs using this reaction are proposed.
