FTIR Studies of Carbon Nanotubes Produced from Fermented Tapioca Prepared by Thermal-CVD

Article Preview

Abstract:

Fermented tapioca prepared at different temperature was prepared and used as a starting material in CNTs synthesis using 2-system thermal chemical vapor deposition (TCVD) method. The CNTs was deposited on nickel coated silicon where the nickel acts as catalyst in the growth process. The size of CNTs growth is dependent to the temperature. The prepared CNTs were analyzed using Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to determine the chemical properties in the sample. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was carried out in the range of 450-4000 cm-1 to study the attachment of the impurities on carbon nanotubes.
