Controlled Synthesis of Carbon Spheres Using Iron Catalyst Supported on Aluminum Hydroxide

Abstract:

Carbon spheres were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition using iron catalyst supported on aluminum hydroxide, in the presence of acetylene as the carbon source. The effects of catalyst on the diameters of carbon spheres were investigated in detail. The products were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy, element analysis, high resolution transmission electron microscope. The results show that the carbon spheres, to some degree, can be controlled by the catalyst
