Synthesis of two dimensional quasi-aligned carbon nanotube bundles by a catalytic chemical vapour deposition method - an inside story

摘要

A simple and novel method was developed for efficient synthesis of 2D quasi-aligned multiwalled carbon nanotubes by a catalytic chemical vapour deposition technique. The CNT alignment and in depth analysis of structures has been studied by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The growth rate and the purity of the product have been found to be affected by the flow rates of the gases as well as the nature of the support used.
