Utilization of iron oxide film obtained by CVD process as catalyst to carbon nanotubes growth

Thin films of Fe₂O₃ were obtained on silica glass substrates through the thermal decomposition of ferrocene in air. These films were characterized by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometry (XRD), and subsequently used as catalyst on the growth of carbon nanotubes, using benzene or a benzene solution of [Fe₃(CO)₁₂] as precursor. A great amount of a black powder was obtained as product, identified as multi-walled carbon nanotubes by XRD, Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The carbon nanotubes formed through the pyrolysis of the [Fe₃(CO)₁₂] solution were identified as structurally better than the one obtained by the pyrolysis of pristine benzene.     

An iron (II) guanidinate compound: Synthesis,characterization, thermal properties and its application as a CVD precursor for iron oxide film

An iron compound containing guanidinate ligand [Fe((SiMe₃)₂NC(ⁱPrN)₂)₂] was synthesized using a conventional lithium‐salt‐elimination reaction, and its chemical structure was characterized through elemental analysis, ¹H‐NMR and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, respectively. The thermal properties of the compound were examined through thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and the TGA results demonstrated that the compound possessed sufficient volatility and suitable thermal stability for the CVD process. Moreover, the deposition experiments were conducted using the synthesized compound as a precursor and O₂ as an oxygen source to confirm its applicability as a CVD precursor, and α‐Fe₂O₃ films were successfully deposited at a relatively low deposition temperature (300°C).     

Porous Molybdenum Carbide Nanostructures Synthesized on Carbon Cloth by CVD for Efficient Hydrogen Production

Molybdenum carbide (Mo₂C) is a promising noble-metal-free electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), due to its structural and electronic merits, such as high conductivity, metallic band states and wide pH applicability. Here, a simple CVD process was developed for synthesis of a Mo₂C on carbon cloth (Mo₂C@CC) electrode with carbon cloth as carbon source and MoO₃ as the Mo precursor. XRD, Raman, XPS and SEM results of Mo₂C@CC with different amounts of MoO₃ and growth temperatures suggested a two-step synthetic mechanism, and porous Mo₂C nanostructures were obtained on carbon cloth with 50 mg MoO₃ at 850 °C (Mo₂C-850(50)). With the merits of unique porous nanostructures, a low overpotential of 72 mV at current density of 10 mA cm⁻² and a small Tafel slope of 52.8 mV dec⁻¹ was achieved for Mo₂C-850(50) in 1.0 m KOH. The dual role of carbon cloth as electrode and carbon source resulted into intimate adhesion of Mo₂C on carbon cloth, offering fast electron transfer at the interface. Cyclic voltammetry measurements for 5000 cycles revealed that Mo₂C@CC had excellent electrochemical stability. This work provides a novel strategy for synthesizing Mo₂C and other efficient carbide electrocatalysts for HER and other applications, such as supercapacitors and lithium-ion batteries.

A transparent boron-nitrogen thin film formed by plasma CVD out of the discharge region

A transparent boron-nitrogen thin film of thickness 550 nm was successfully deposited out of the discharge region by rf plasma CVD. The deposition was performed with diborane (4.8 vol % in N₂) as the reactant gas and argon as the carrier gas by an inductively coupled reactor at a frequency of 13.56 MHz. The transparent films could be obtained at a low pressure of about 30 Pa, at a discharge power level of 30 W, and at room temperature without heating the substrate. The thin films obtained by rf plasma are compared with those obtained by microwave plasma. Both the refractive index and the deposition rate for the films deposited by microwave plasma are discussed according to the deposition conditions.     

Application of Thermogravimetry and Differential Thermal Analysis in Catalytic CVD Synthesis of Carbon Nanotubes

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MW-CNTs) were prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method with the decomposition of acetylene over Co/SiO2 catalyst. TG-DTA technique was used together with TEM and XRD to study the effect of reaction temperature on the composition, graphitized extent, and diameter distribution of the produced raw CNTs based on their oxidization resistance. During the decomposition, the micro-crystallite of the active constituent (Co/SiO2) were growing up as the reaction temperature rising. This in turn resulted in an increase of the diameter distribution range of produced MW-CNTs. The average diameter increased from 20~30 nm (650℃) to 30~50 nm (750℃). XRD results also showed the graphitized extent of MW-CNTs was enhanced meanwhile the spacing between the layers (d002) decreased from 3.45 (650℃) to 3.32 (850℃) with the reaction temperature raised. TG-DTA data showed that the exothermic peak of the amorphous carbon was below 380℃and its content would decrease as temperature increasing. In summary, for CVD production of CNTs using acetylene gas on Co/SiO2 catalyst, low temperature (about 650℃) favored producing thinner MW-CNTs with the diameter from 20 to 30 nm while higher temperature (about 850℃) is favored thicker MW-CNTs (diameter from 70 to 100 nm).     

Highly conducting graphitic carbon films and nano patterns from poly(p-phenylenevinylene) prepared on the surface of silicon wafers by the CVD method

We could prepare highly electrically conducting graphitic carbon films and nano patterns by carbonizing the poly(p-phenylenevinylene) (PPV) films and nano patterns prepared on the silicon surface by the chemical vapor deposition polymerization method of α,α'-dichloro-p-xylene. When the PPV films on silicon wafers were thermally treated at 850°C highly oriented graphitic carbon films were obtained which exhibit an electrical conductivity higher than 0.7 x 10³ Scm⁻¹. This conductivity value is more than 10 times the value for the carbon films obtained from bulk PPV films or glassy carbons heat treated at the same temperature. Moreover, nano patterns of graphitic carbons were easily obtained on silicon wafers through carbonization of nano patterned PPV obtained by the CVD polymerization method.

Coating and water permeation properties of SiO2 thin films prepared by the sol-gel method on nylon-6 substrates

Nylon-6 substrates were coated with SiO₂ thin films by the sol-gel method and their water permeability coefficient was evaluated. Methyltriethoxysilane (MTES) and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) were used as starting materials. The addition of MTES to TEOS has enabled the formation of crack-free thin films on the substrates. The thin films strongly adhered to the substrates. The water permeability coefficients of nylon-6 substrates coated with these thin films decreased with the increase in the ratio of TEOS to the total alkoxides. The pretreatment of the nylon-6 substrates with -aminopropyltriethoxysilane was found to be effective to suppress the water permeability. The water permeability was suppressed by about 40% under the optimal condition.     

CVD synthesis of spiral carbon nanotubes over asymmetric catalytic particles

The influence of asymmetric catalytic particles prepared by various methods was investigated on the growth of spiral carbon nanotubes using the CVD method. Asymmetric particles were prepared by either milling or crystallization from oversaturated solution onto the surface of catalyst support or catalyst impregnation at pH 8–9. As-prepared catalysts were tested in the decomposition of acetylene. Carbon deposit, thus carbon nanotubes and spirals were observed by transmission electron microscopy the activity was characterized by carbon yield.     

Control of the Properties of Carbon Nanotubes Synthesized by CVD for Application in Electrochemical Biosensors

Interest in carbon nanotubes (CNT) has grown at a very rapid rate in the last decade. Their interesting physical and chemical properties open attractive possibilities in many application areas. These properties depend on the process conditions during synthesis and on subsequent purification steps. Recent studies have demonstrated that CNT can promote the electron transfer of biomolecules. These exceptional properties make them attractive for use in electrochemical biosensors. Multi walled nanotubes have been synthesized by the Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) method using methane as a carbon source and Ni–Al₂O₃–SiO₂ as the catalyst. The influence of the variation of certain reaction parameters such as feed gas composition, catalyst mass, temperature and reaction time in the yield of the CVD process has been established. In addition, the structural and chemical characteristics of the CNTs have been studied and a purification process to eliminate the catalyst and amorphous carbon has been developed that involves a gaseous oxidative process and acid treatment. The efficiency of the purification step has been determined by analytical techniques. Atomic force microscopy, Raman scattering, thermogravimetric analysis, inductively coupled plasma atomic spectroscopy are the characterization techniques employed in this work.     

Experimental investigation of the parameter dependency of the removal rate of thermochemically polished CVD diamond films

Parameters controlling the removal rate of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond films thermochemically polished on transition metals in a mixed argon-hydrogen atmosphere were investigated. The ambient temperature, the pressure exerted on the diamond film, the angular velocity of the polishing plate, the frequency and the amplitude of the transverse vibrations were among the parameters used in the experiments. Temperature measurements showed that the removal rate was increased exponentially with increasing magnitude of the parameter. An exponential increase in the removal rate was also observed with increasing pressure and hence with increasing contact between the diamond film and the polishing plate. However, an exponential decrease in the removal rate was observed with increasing angular velocity of the polishing plate. The removal rate obtained with the application of transverse vibrations was more than three times that obtained without transverse vibrations. Moreover, the removal rate was seen to be higher at resonant frequencies. An increase in the removal rate with increasing amplitude of the transverse vibrations was also observed. Raman measurements carried out on the films to determine the presence of the non-diamond carbon layer after thermochemical polishing revealed non-diamond Raman lines only for films polished at 1000 °C and 1050 °C for the temperature range 750–1050 °C.

Multilayer graphene/amorphous carbon hybrid films prepared by microwave surface‐wave plasma CVD: synthesis and characterization

Hybrid films of multilayer graphene (MG) containing amorphous carbon (a‐C) were synthesized on Al substrates by microwave surface‐wave plasma chemical vapor deposition. Raman scattering and surface transmission electron microscopy showed that the carbon films contained a large quantity of MG when a radio frequency (RF) substrate bias was not applied. Amorphization of graphene in the carbon film was promoted by applying an RF bias, which generated Ar⁺ in the plasma. The bandgaps of the films were found to increase as the Raman intensity ratios between the 2D‐band (at 2700 cm^?1) and D‐band (at 1350 cm^?1) decreased, indicating the formation of a‐C. The MG/a‐C all‐sp² phase of carbon hybrid films exhibited an increase in current density under 5 mW/cm² of AM1.5G solar simulated irradiation as the RF bias increased because of Ar⁺‐induced amorphization of the graphene.
