MWCNT synthesis over Fe-BTC as a catalyst/carbon source via CVD

摘要

A Fe-BTC (benzene-l,3,5-tricarboxylate) metal-organic framework was used for the first time as a combined catalyst and carbon source for the synthesis of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Decomposition of acetylene in the presence of Fe-BTC by the CVD method at 700 to 900 °C led to successful production of high purity as-grown CNT products in high yield.
