Abstract: | The structure and defects in the walls and cavities of carbon nanotubes were examined by electron diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis and Raman spectroscopy. The predominating defects in the walls of the nanotubes are graphite nanocrystals having a preferential orientation in the direction of the nanotube axis, and another significant type of defects are particles of the catalyst in the nanotube cavities. In the cavities, also the presence of molybdenum was proved having its origin in the catalyst. |
