摘要
High purity, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were synthesized by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) using acetylene as the carbon source based on a zeolite NaX template loaded with different iron contents. Well shaped zeolite NaX nanocrystals (FAU) of 50nm were synthesized by a hydrothermal method according to a well designed composition of 3.5Na(2)O:Al2O3:2.1SiO(2):1000H(2)O. The ion-exchange method was used for supporting different Fe2+ contents in the zeolite NaX nanocrystals to provide effective catalysts for carbon nanotube (CNT) formation. Thermal treatment of Fe2+-exchanged zeolite NaX nanocrystals resulted in the formation of alpha-Fe2O3 at phase at 450 degrees C in air. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images showed that the inner and outer tube diameters of the MWNTs were in the range of 3.8-5.0nm and 6.3-8.8nm, respectively, which were smaller than those of conventional thick MWNTs. The yield of the MWNTs was increased up to 47.1% with increasing iron content in pores of the zeolite crystals, which allowed the pores to be defined as containers for catalysts and as a guide template for MWNT growth.
