摘要
Synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was carried out using methane as a carbon source via the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. A thin stainless-steel foil was used as catalyst for CNT growth. Our results revealed that pretreatment step of the stainless-steel foil as a catalyst plays an important role in CNT formation. In our experiments, a catalyst pretreatment temperature of 850 degrees C or 950 degrees C was found to facilitate the creation of Fe- and Cr-rich particles are active sites on the foil surface, leading to CNT formation. It is noted that the size of metallic particles after pretreatment is closely related to the diameter of the synthesized CNTs. It is interesting that a shorter catalyst pretreatment brings the growth of semiconducting typed CNTs while a longer pretreatment creates metallic CNTs. This finding might lead to a process for improving the quality of CNTs grown on steel foil as catalyst.
