摘要：
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were grown for 30 min over impregnated Co/MgO, Mo/MgO, and Co-Mo/MgO catalysts by thermal cracking of C2H2 at 800 degreesC. 30Mo/70MgO catalyst was inactive in growing CNTs. However, the addition of Mo to Co greatly enhanced the growth of CNTs. The highest yield was observed over 15Mo/15Co/70MgO catalyst. The grown tubes were multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) with average diameter of 15 nm. The growth was followed by tip growth mode. Purified CNTs contained more than 90% MWNTs. Co oxide precursor was released from the CoMoO4 species at growth temperature and participated in the CNTs growth. The field emission characteristics of the grown CNTs showed that the turn-on-voltage appeared at the electric field of 3.17 V/mum with the calculated field enhancement factor (beta) of 5054. The observed beta value indicated better suitability of our grown CNTs for the field emission display (FED) application. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
