Abstract:
The structures of graphene layer-carbon nanotube hybrid films produced via CVD with a single-stage flow of acetylene into a chamber containing a prepared substrate are studied. It is shown that such films have a hybrid double-layer structure consisting of a graphene layer and a dense continuous network of nanotubes. The graphene layer contains continuous extended areas 10–50 μm in size and island areas ~0.1 μm in size. TEM images lead to the conclusion that the graphene layer and carbon nanotubes are bound by covalent bonds.
