CARBON NANOFIBERS WITH SHARP TIP ENDS AND A CARBON NANOFIBERS GROWTH METHOD USING A PALLADIUM CATALYST

摘要

The present invention relates to a carbon nanofibers growth method including (S1) depositing an alumina layer on a silicon substrate, (S2) depositing palladium on the alumina layer to form a palladium catalyst layer, and (S3) growing carbon nanofibers on the palladium catalyst layer by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, and carbon nanofibers vertically grown on an alumina layer-deposited silicon substrate, the carbon nanofibers having tip ends with a radius of curvature less than or equal to 5 nm, a diameter less than or equal to 50 nm, a length more than or equal to 1 mm, and a length-diameter aspect ratio more than or equal to 50,000.
