Synthesis of Carbon Nanotubes Using Zinc Nitrate as a Catalyst by Aerosol-Assisted Catalytic Single Furnace CVD

Abstract:

Carbon nanotubes were synthesized from the aerosol-assisted catalytic CVD method using palm oil as the precursor and 0.05M zinc nitrate solution as the catalyst. The deposition temperature of the single furnace aerosol-assisted catalytic CVD ranged from 750 to 950 oC. The samples were then characterized using field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), Raman spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). CNTs with different diameters and distribution were produced at certain deposition temperature and amorphous carbons were also present in the samples.
