In Situ Synthesis of CNTs/Mg Composite Powders by CVD at Low Temperatures

Article Preview

Abstract:

The emphasis of this study was in-situ synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on Mg matrix at 480°C. The process involves homogeneous deposition of Co catalyst onto Mg by deposition-precipitation route with low Co content (1.0 wt.%) and in situ synthesis of CNTs by chemical vapor deposition. The morphologies and microstructure of the as-obtained CNTs/Mg composite powders was characterized by SEM, TEM, Raman spectrum, and XRD. The results indicated that CNTs were well graphitized and uniformly distributed on the surface of Mg powders, which would be beneficial to the mechanical property of CNTs/Mg composites.
