Growth of Bamboo-Shaped Carbon Nanostructures on Carbon Fibre by Chemical Vapor Deposition

Abstract:

Bamboo-shaped Carbon Nanostructures (BSCNs) and carbon nanofilaments (CNFs) have been successfully grown on carbon fibre coated with iron catalyst by chemical vapour deposition of ethene (C₂H₄). The reaction was carried out at 800°C with varied hydrogen and ethene ratios of 20/80, 50/50 and 80/20. TEM analysis showed the bamboo-shaped carbon nanostructures were best grown at 50/50 of hydrogen and ethene ratio, whilst disorder carbon nanofibres were grown when the ratio increased to 80/20, and less or no carbon nanofibres were observed at hydrogen and ethane ratio of 20/80 due to inactive of catalyst particle. The outer diameter of BSCNs consisting of hollow compartment was in the range of 40 ~ 48 nm and encapsulated catalyst particle were not observed at the tip or in the middle, indicating a bottom-growth. The formation of compartment was dependent on diffusion of carbon atom in the catalyst and the possible growth mechanism is explained.
