Effect of Ball-Milling Parameter on the Synthesis of MWCNT/Alumina Hybrid Compound

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effects of ball-milling parameter on the structures and properties of the synthesis of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT)/alumina hybrid compound via methane decomposition process using Ni-Alumina catalyst were researched. The structural evaluation of particles compound was investigated by particle size analysis, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), FTIR spectrometer and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicated that with 300rpm 15h, the microstructure of the hybrid compound is greatly refined, and methane decomposition process distributed uniformly, thus increasing the efficiency of the carbon nanotubes growth process.
