Growth mechanism of carbon nanotubes in floating catalyst system
Source abstract
Abstract
Vapor phase nucleation (VPN) growth mechanism was proposed to explain the growth of carbon nanotubes in floating catalyst system. Active carbon available for the growth of CNTs in floating catalyst system came from the pyrolysis of benzene. Catalyst particle, partially covered with sulphur, acted as the nucleation center for SWNTs. Continuous radial growth of SWNTs and gradual graphitization resulted in the formation of MWNTs. The VPN growth mechanism can be used to well explain the characteristics of CNTs in floating catalyst system.
