微波等离子体化学气相沉积法低温制备直纳米碳管膜

Among the three main methods for the synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), chemical vapor deposition (CVD) has received a great deal of attention since CNTs can be synthesized at significantly low temperature. Plasma chemical vapor deposition methods can synthesize CNTs at lower temperature than thermal CVD. But in the usual catalytic growth of CNTs by CVD, CNTs are often tangled together and have some defects. These will limit the property research and potential applications. How to synthesize the straight CNTs at low temperature becomes a challenging issue. In this letter, straight carbon nanotube (CNT) films were achieved by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MWPCVD) catalyzed by round Fe-Co-Ni alloy particles on Ni substrate at 610℃. It was found that, in our experimental condition, the uniform growth rate along the circumference of round alloy particles plays a very important role in the growth of straight CNT films. And because the substrate is conducting, the straight CNT films grown at low temperature may have the benefit for property research and offer the possibility to use them in the future applications.

MWPCVD低温合成纳米碳管的生长机理

The synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) at low temperature has received a great deal of attention and be-comes a challenging issue. But few model which accounts for the growth of CNTs is suited for the synthesis of CNTs by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MWPCVD) at low temperature because most researchers conclude that the growth mechanism is determined by the catalyst-supporter interaction while ignored the diffusion of carbon in the catalyst. In this paper, under the catalytic effect of cobalt supported by SiO₂ and Al₂O₃, CNTs are synthe-sized by MWPCVD at about 500℃, and tip-growth, the model which accounts for the catalytic growth of CNTs is outlined. It is the temperature difference between the upper and bottom of the catalytic particle that results in the diffusion of carbon atoms from upper to the bottom, and precipitation of saturated carbon on the bottom surface to form CNTs.

酞菁裂解法多壁碳纳米管的制备、表征和应用

In order to investigate the catalytic activity of high temperature treated CoPc toward oxygen reduction, and find the active site of the catalyst, using cobalt (Ⅱ) phthalocyanine (CoPc) as raw material, through thermal chemical vapor deposition method at 850℃ under a current of Ar/H2, two layer well-aligned multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were made. The diameters of the well-aligned carbon nanotubes were distributed in the range of 60～120 nm and the length was about 40 μm. The Co particle with 10 nm in diameter was encapsulated in the CNTs compartment. The products were observed by field emission scanning electron microscope (SEM), and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The well-aligned carbon nanotubes were characteriszed by Raman scattering spectrum and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The cyclic voltammetric measurement demonstrates that the CNTs have some effect to prevent the metal nanoparticle encapsulated from eroding rapidly. It is assumed that the small amount of the N element in the CNTs is very necessary for the bamboo-like morphology and the protected action for metal particles against dissolution in the acid medium. The radian of the winding wall should be affected by the amount of the N and the interaction between the N in the carbon network and the metal cluster. In addition, the CNTs greater electrochemically active surface area is a great advantage for any electrocatalytic application.     

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.

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.     

A viable way to tailor carbon nanomaterials by irradiation-induced transformations

Since the discovery of carbon nanotubes (CNT), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been the most important tool in their investigation. It is possible to use electron irradiation in a TEM to construct a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) from an amorphous carbon film. Here we show that such a synthesis method creates a large number of carbon ad-atoms, which after some critical amount of radiation act to restore the system by reconstructing the carbon film. The behavior of the ad-atoms can be controlled by adjusting the current density in the microscope, suggesting that carbon nanomaterials can be tailored by electron irradiation.     

Synthesis and modification of multi-walled carbon nano-tubes (MWCNTs) for water treatment applications

Synthesis of MWCNTs by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of acetylene is investigated at different temperatures. Fe-Co/CaCO₃ catalyst/support prepared by wet impregnation method is used. CaCO₃ was found to be a good support as a high selective material for deposition of CNTs with high purity. The effect of temperature on catalyst/support phases and crystal size was identified by using XRD. The crystallite size was decreased with increase temperature. The effect of growing time and temperature on carbon yield was studied and the deposited MWCNTs increased with temperature. The structure and purity of synthesized CNTs at different temperatures was examined by TEM and the effect of temperature on the surface area of the synthesized MWCNTs was investigated, the surface area decreased as the temperature increased. The prepared CNTs were purified using chemical oxidation method and the effect of acid treatment on CNTs surface was examined by TEM and SEM. The function groups produced at CNTs surface were investigated by using FTIR spectroscopy also the effect of CNTs preparation temperature on FTIR spectra was studied. The functionalized CNTs were used for adsorption of some heavy metals and for removal of some organic dyes from water.

Comparison of the Electrochemical Reactivity of Electrodes Modified with Carbon Nanotubes from Different Sources

The electrochemical activity of five different commercial carbon nanotubes (CNT), prepared by the ARC discharge and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods, has been assessed and compared. The various multi‐walled CNT were immobilized onto a glassy carbon electrode using three different dispersing agents (Nafion, concentrated nitric acid and dimethylformamide (DMF)) and their voltammetric response to ferricyanide, NADH and hydrogen peroxide examined. SEM was used to characterize the surface morphology. The corresponding cyclic voltammetry and amperometric data showed that the electrocatalytic activity, the background current and the electroanalytical performance are strongly depended on the preparation of the CNT and on the dispersing agent used. The most favorable amperometric detection of NADH and hydrogen peroxide is observed at the NanoLab CVD‐produced CNT in connection to a DMF‐surface dispersion. ARC‐produced CNT display a smaller capacitance, particularly in connection to the DMF dispersion. Such differences in the electrochemical reactivity are attributed to the different surface chemistries (primarily defect densities) of the corresponding CNT layers, associated with the different production and dispersion protocols.
