Mechanistic Aspects of Carbon Nanotube Nucleation and Growth

The discovery, synthesis, characterization, and applicability of carbon nanotubes have produced tremendous excitement and interest among scientists and engineers. In particular, the use of these unique tubular nanostructures for new strong lightweight materials, nanoelectronics, fuel storage and cells, electron emitters and bio, scanning probe microscopy, and chemical sensing devices has created an intense effort to advance the synthesis so as to mass produce carbon nanotubes with control over diameter and helicity. The massive and controlled synthesis of this heralded nanostructure has been a great challenge. Although significant progress has advanced the preparation, more synthetic development is required. The syntheses have so far involved three main approaches: arc discharge vaporization, laser vaporization, and catalytic chemical vapor deposition. The synthetic trend has progressed to a point where further advancement with these techniques will require a better understanding of the mechanism of nucleation and growth. The mechanics of carbon nanotube nucleation and growth involve very complex and diverse phenomena occurring under extreme conditions and on the mesoscopic scale. As yet the detail mechanism is unknown. Difficulties with experimental probing and computational simulation have increased the mystery of this mechanism. This review presents an account of research on the synthesis of carbon nanotubes and the mechanism of formation. This overview includes all three mentioned synthetic approaches and hybrids thereof. On the basis of this broad account a comprehensive mechanism for carbon nanotube nucleation and growth naturally arises. This mechanism is qualitative and it hopes to inspire more quantitative exploration and synthetic advancement.

Growth Mechanism of Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotube Arrays

Vertically aligned multi-walled carbon nanotube arrays grown on quartz substrate are obtained by co-pyrolysis of xylene and ferrocene at 850 oC in a tube furnace. Raman spectroscopy and high resolution transmission electron microscopy measurements show that the single-walled carbon nanotubes are only present on top of vertically aligned multi-walled carbon nanotube arrays. It has been revealed that isolated single-walled carbon nanotubes are only present in those floating catalyst generated materials. It thus suggests that the single-walled carbon nanotubes here are also generated by floating catalyst. Vertically alignedcarbon nanotube arrays on the quartz substrate have shown good orientation and good graphitization. Meanwhile, to investigate the growth mechanism, two bi-layers carbon nan-otube films with di erent thickness have been synthesized and analyzed by Raman spectroscopy. The results show that the two-layer vertically aligned carbon nanotube films grow “bottom-up”. There are distinguished Raman scattering signals for the second layer itself, surface of the first layer, interface between the first and second layer, side wall and bottom surface. It indicates that the obtained carbon nanotubes follow the base-growth mechanism, and the single-walled carbon nanotubes grow from their base at the growth beginning when iron catalyst particles have small size. Those carbon nanotubes with few walls (typically <5 walls) have similar properties, which also agree with the base-growth mechanism.     

Synthesis of straight and helical carbon nanotubes from catalytic pyrolysis of polyethylene

Straight and helical carbon nanotubes with diameter from 20 to 60 nm have been synthesized through catalytic decomposition of polyethylene in autoclave at 700 °C. The X-ray power diffraction pattern indicates that the products are hexagonal graphite, and transmission electron microscope (TEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) images reveal the morphologies and structures of carbon nanotubes. The effects of reaction temperature, catalyst and maleated polypropylene on the growth of the carbon nanotubes were also discussed, and the growth mechanism of the CNTs was proposed. Pyrolysis of polyethylene is a promising green chemical method for economically producing carbon nanotubes.

Magnetic solid-phase extraction based on magnetic carbon nanotube for the determination of estrogens in milk

In this work, a novel method for the fabrication of magnetic carbon nanotubes based on 'aggregation wrap' was proposed. When carbon nanotubes and magnetic nanoparticles were vortically mixed in a solvent, the magnetic nanoparticles were wrapped into the carbon nanotube bundles that formed during the aggregation process, leading to the formation of magnetic carbon nanotubes. Thus, the resultant material can be separated from the solvent rapidly and conveniently by a magnet. Our investigation demonstrated that the 'aggregation wrap' mechanism for the preparation of magnetic composite is also applicable to other self-aggregated micro/nanomaterials, including graphene, graphite, C(60), etc. To testify the feasibility of the magnetic composites in sample preparation, the resultant magnetic carbon nanotubes were applied as sorbents for magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) of estrogens in milk samples. Under optimized conditions, a rapid, convenient and efficient method for the determination of estrogens in milk samples was established by the combination of MSPE with high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detector. The linearity range of the proposed method was 5-2000 μg/L with correlation coefficients (R) of 0.9983-0.9994. The limit of detection (LOD) for three estrogens ranged from 1.21 to 2.35 μg/L. The intra- and inter-day relative standard deviations (RSDs) were <9.3%. The reproducibility of the MSPE with different batches of magnetic carbon nanotubes was acceptable with RSD values <3.6%.
