Preparation of Palm Oil Based Carbon Nanotubes at Various Ferrocene Concentration
Abstract:
In this work, different ferrocene concentration (1.0-8.0 wt%) of bio-hydrocarbon palm oil precursor were utilized to investigate its effect on the characteristics of the produced carbon nanotubes (CNT). The palm oil-ferrocene mixture was vaporized at 450°C and pyrolyzed at 800°C for 30 min time in argon ambient. The CNT were analyzed using field emission scanning electron microscopy, scanning transmission electron microscopy, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis. The analysis confirmed different diameter and morphologies of CNT were formed when different ferrocene concentration were used. FTIR spectra show the prominent peak at ~1445, 1736, 2851 and 2925 cm-1 that are identified as CNT and C–Hx respectively.
