Floating Catalyst Method for Preparation of Carbon Nanotubes Using Fe/Co/Al Catalyst by Thermal-CVD

Abstract:

Carbon nanotubes (Cnts) produced using single furnace thermal CVD method by the floating catalyst method, at low temperature condition; 650oC. Carbon nanotubes were produced from natural source of camphor oil, using Fe/Co/Al as catalyst source, yielding a thickened submicron vapor grown of multi-wall Cnts. Carbon nanotubes are observed to form by different weight composition of catalyst. For the production of carbon nanotubes, natural precursor was used as the carbon feedstock, and the catalysts were added in a precursor compound. FESEM analysis confirms that this type of stacked-cup Cnts is produced by vaporize catalyst and mixing with the hydrocarbon source. In fact, few Cnts have either a particle tip at the end or trapped metal particle inside the wide hollow core of this type of produced carbon material. Chemical properties carried out by FTIR and Raman spectroscopy.
