| Abstract |
Aligned carbon nanotube arrays (CNTAs) were readily synthesized by a resistance heating method
on a substrate of commercially available stainless steel which has more plentiful availability than
the wafers of Si and quarts. The catalyst was supported on the substrate by dip coating with a
methanol solution of M(C5H5)2(M=Co,Fe), and the substrate was electrically heated at 800oC in
methanol. Highly aligned CNTAs were grown from the catalyst prepared from 0.02 M Co(C5H5)2
methanol solution. The alignment was influenced by the concentration and the kind of M(C5H5)2. |
