Carbon Nanotubes: Synthesis via Chemical Vapour …

The present study describes the growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) from liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) on an Fe 2 O 3 /Al 2 O 3 precatalyst via a chemical vapour deposition (CVD) process without hydrogen. The obtained multiwalled CNTs exhibit a less-defective structure with an identical external diameter of tubes of around 50 nm.

CVD synthesis of nitrogen doped carbon nanotubes …

2021-1-2 · Abstract Nitrogen doped carbon nanotubes (N-CNTs) have been synthesized by the chemical vapour deposition (CVD) floating catalyst method using either 4-ferrocenylaniline or mixtures of varying concentrations of ferrocene/aniline together with toluene as added carbon source. The N-CNTs produced are less stable (thermal gravimetric analysis measurements), less graphitic and more disordered ...

Aligned, high-density semiconducting carbon …

Although semiconducting carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are promising candidates to replace silicon in transistors at extremely small dimensions, their purity, density, and alignment must be improved. Liu et al. combined a multiple dispersion sorting process, which improves purity, and a dimension-limited self-alignment process to produce well-aligned CNT arrays on a 10-centimeter silicon wafer.
