We have synthesized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) using a DC arc discharge method under organic molecular atmospheres.
This method allows us to synthesize about five times more MWNTs than are synthesized using the usual arc discharge method,
using discharge conditions of 100 A and 20 V. We have examined the synthetic yield of MWNTs at various pressures under different
organic atmospheres. The yield of MWNTs increases with the number of carbon atoms in the organic molecule.

2 bonds attests for the presence of ordered BN domains and of carbon domains; (ii) the elemental profiles show that BN layers
and carbon layers are immiscible with a radial organisation into two to five domains; and (iii) the sets of layers at free
surfaces – including the inner surfaces of tubes – are always made of carbon. The origin of this chemical organisation, which
is most likely obtained during the growth, is discussed. For the hafnium-boride metallic particles coated by C/BN envelopes,
a model based on the solidification from the outside to the inside of isolated liquid-like droplets is proposed: the carbon
phase solidifies first according to theoretical phase diagrams, and forms the outer shells. For the tubes, a directional eutectic
solidification process is shown to account for the observed C/BN/C sequence, in a vapour–liquid–solid scheme, with an hafnium-rich
liquid-like particle at the tip of the tube.

The thermal stability of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was assessed in situ by transmission electron microscopy.
Upon heating, Ni catalysts in MWCNTs containing bamboo structures shrank from the tail due to evaporation, leading to additional
bamboo formation and tube elongation at 800°C, while the MWCNTs with FeSi catalysts remained intact up to 1050°C except for
better crystallinity. The physisorbed carbon and/or hydrocarbon on surfaces and super-saturated carbon in the Ni catalysts
should be responsible for the phenomena. 相似文献

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are grown by arc discharge method in a controlled methane environment. The arc discharge is produced between two graphite electrodes at the ambient pressures of 100 tort, 300 torr, and 500 torr. Arc plasma parameters such as temperature and density are estimated to investigate the influences of the ambient pressure and the contributions of the ambient pressure to the growth and the structure of the nanotubes. The plasma temperature and density are observed to increase with the increase in the methane ambient pressure. The samples of MWCNT synthesized at different ambient pressures are analyzed using transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. An increase in the growth of MWCNT and a decrease in the inner tube diameter are observed with the increase in the methane ambient pressure. 相似文献

Mechanisms proposed in the literature are compared with a current scenario for the formation of single-wall carbon nanotubes
in the laser-ablation process that is based on our spectral emission and laser-induced fluorescence measurements. It is suggested
that the carbon which serves as feedstock for nanotube formation not only comes from the direct ablation of the target, but
also from carbon particles suspended in the reaction zone. Fullerenes formed in the reaction zone may be photo-dissociated
into C2 and other low molecular weight species, and also may serve as feedstock for nanotube growth. Confinement of the nanotubes
in the reaction zone within the laser beam allows the nanotubes to be ‘purified’ and annealed during the formation process
by laser heating.

ablated species is studied through time and space resolved measurements of the ion yield. We discuss our observations on the
basis of reactions involving neutral and ionized carbon-based species.

CVD synthesis and purification of single-walled carbon nanotubes on aerogel-supported catalyst 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were synthesized by disproportionation of carbon monoxide on an aerogel-supported Fe/Mo
catalyst. A simple acidic treatment followed by an oxidation process produced a high purity (>99%) of SWNTs. The nanotubes
obtained are bundled SWNTs and free of amorphous-carbon coating. Several factors that affect the yield and the quality of
the SWNTs were also studied. This method shows great promise for large-scale production of SWNTs.

Cu nanowire arrays have been synthesized using potentiostatic electrodeposition within the confined nanochannels of a porous
anodic alumina membrane. The Cu nanowire arrays and the individual nanowires have been characterized using SEM, TEM, SAED,
HREM and XRD. Investigation results reveal that the Cu nanowire arrays having high wire packing densities are highly ordered
over large areas. The individual Cu nanowires (diameter ∼60 nm) were single-crystal and found to be dense and continuous with
uniform diameters throughout their entire length. An optimum ECD condition (at lower overpotentials) for the synthesis of
single-crystal Cu nanowires was also discussed.

Single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were prepared with arc discharge technique using Ni/Co carbon composite rod in He, Ar, and N2 atmosphere, respectively. The yield and the diameter distribution of them were compared with each other. The results show that N2 atmosphere at low pressure gives the highest yield for the formation of SWNTs, almost comparable to that obtained with laser furnace technique. It also declares that He atmosphere seems to make SWNTs having smaller diameter distribution than those obtained in N2 and Ar atmosphere. These findings were summarized and used for the discussion related to the formation mechanism of SWNTs. 相似文献

An industrial trace-ammonia sensor based on photoacoustic spectroscopy and CO2 lasers has been developed for measuring ammonia with a 1σ detection limit of 220 parts-per-trillion (ppt) in an integration
time of 30 s. The instrument response time for measuring ammonia was 200 s, limited by adsorption effects due to the polar
nature of ammonia. The minimum detectable fractional absorbance was 2.0×10-7, and the minimum normalized detectable absorption coefficient for this system was 2.4×10-7 W cm-1/z. The 9R(30) transition of the CO2 laser at 9.22 μm with 2 W of output power was used to probe the strong sR(5,K) multiplet of ammonia at the same wavelength. This sensor was demonstrated with an optically multiplexed configuration
for simultaneous measurement in four cells.

Time-dependent powder X-ray-diffraction analyses reveal that the conversion of WO3 into WS2 on carbon nanotube surfaces in the presence of H2S is a one-step process. The WS2 layers grow simultaneously along the tube in the radial and axial directions.

A helium-pressure influence on the structure and properties of carbonaceous material from the inner part of a deposit forming
in an arc discharge has been studied. At the helium pressure of about 150 Torr and higher, the material was found to have
a layered texture, which is perpendicular to the deposit growth axis. Electron microscopy measurements showed that a sample
produced in He gas of 800 Torr consists of ∼80% carbon nanotubes having predominant orientation in the layers. Electric conductivity
along and perpendicular to the samples’ surface have been measured from 4.2 to 500 K. The samples synthesised at higher helium
pressures have significant anisotropy of conductivity, increasing with the carbon nanotubes content rise. X-ray fluorescence
spectra represented the angle dependence that is caused by the anisotropy of chemical bonding in the carbon nanotubes. The
valence π- and σ-bands for the carbonaceous material were separated.

Multishell conduction in multiwalled carbon nanotubes 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The full electronic complexity of multiwalled carbon nanotubes may be explored by sequentially removing individual carbon
shells. This technique is employed to directly measure the number of shells contributing to conduction at room temperature,
as well as the contribution of each shell to the overall conductance. By exploring the gate dependence of the conductance,
the random alternation between semiconducting and metallic shells can also be observed.

An idea of using pure iron and graphite electrodes was employed for synthesizing carbon nanoparticles by arc discharge in liquid nitrogen. The synthesized products consist of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MW–CNT), carbon nanohorns (CNH), and carbon nanocapsules (CNC) with core–shell structure. Effect of metallic cathode and discharge current on product structure and yield had been experimentally investigated. Typical evidence of transmission electron microscopic images revealed that under some certain conditions of discharge in liquid nitrogen the synthesized products mainly consisted of CNCs with mean diameter of 50–400 nm. When conventional graphitic electrodes were employed, CNHs with some MW–CNTs were mainly synthesized. Meanwhile, MW–CNTs with diameter of 8–25 nm and length 150–250 nm became less selectively synthesized as cathode deposit under the condition of discharge in liquid nitrogen with higher arc current. The production yield of carbon nanoparticles synthesized by either carbon–carbon or carbon–iron electrodes became also lower with an increase in the arc current. 相似文献

Self-assembly pyrolytic routes to large arrays (<2.5 cm2) of aligned CNx nanotubes (15–80 nm OD and <100 μm in length) are presented. The method involves the thermolysis of ferrocene/melamine mixtures
(5:95) at 900–1000 °C in the presence of Ar. Electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) reveals that the N content varies from
2–10%, and can be bonded to C in two different fashions (double-bonded and triple-bonded nitrogen). The electronic densities
of states (DOS) of these CNx nanotubes, using scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS), are presented. The doped nanotubes exhibit strong features in the
conduction band close to the Fermi level (0.18 eV). Using tight-binding and ab initio calculations, we confirm that pyridine-like
(double-bonded) N is responsible for introducing donor states close to the Fermi Level. These electron-rich structures are
the first example of n-type nanotubes. Finally, it will be shown that moderate electron irradiation at 700–800 °C is capable
of coalescing single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs). The process has also been studied using tight-binding molecular dynamics (TBMD).
Vacancies induce the coalescence via a zipper-like mechanism, which has also been observed experimentally. These vacancies
trigger the organization of atoms on the tube lattices within adjacent tubes. These results pave the way to the fabrication
of nanotube heterojunctions, robust composites, contacts, nanocircuits and strong 3D composites using N-doped tubes as well
as SWNTs.

The complementary REMPI (resonance-enhanced multi-photon ionisation) techniques using either a tuneable laser or a fixed-frequency
laser are compared. Our Jet-REMPI apparatus, consisting of a tuneable laser unit (Nd:YAG pump laser and OPO) and a reflectron
mass spectrometer, is briefly introduced. This machine has been upgraded to cope with the difficult conditions (such as vibrations,
temperature fluctuations and dust) prevailing in an incinerator. On-line measurements of the raw gas have been carried out
at the municipal waste incinerator (MWI) in Stuttgart. Although this test series could not be completed the results are encouraging.
They show that wavelength resolution can provide valuable information beyond that which can be obtained by fixed-frequency
REMPI. Examples discussed include identification of phenanthrene as major constituent of the isomeric pair phenanthrene/anthracene
and the structural identification of xylene isomers in the incinerator raw gas. Both examples are also of more general interest,
the former with regard to investigation of soot precursors and the latter for quality assessment of refinery products. Spectra
of some deuterated aromatics are reported for use of these compounds as standards. In addition, a mass spectrum containing
DDT is shown and a chlorobenzene profile measured earlier in a pilot scale incinerator as demonstration of the sensitivity
of the instrument. As is to be discussed, significant further sensitivity gains through increase of the beam density are limited
because of ion collisions within the sample beam.
