Abstract

Abstract To change the binary structure of nanotube and nanotube array in vertically aligned carbon nanotube arrays, this work deposits regularly arranged amorphous alumina sheets on the classical array growth catalyst (10 nm‐thick alumina and 2 nm‐thick iron) and obtains an array similar to the Medusa head. Subsequent experiments revealed that these alumina sheets show both unstable and stable qualities during growth: unstable in that they thermally deform and change their newly discovered characteristics of blocking carbon source diffusion, which regulates the nanotube growth order in specific areas; stable in that they withstand the deformation caused by heat and sequential growth of nanotubes, serving as a substrate and buffer layer for Medusa's hair, i.e., nanotube bundles on the array surface. Their combination splits this binary structure into a tertiary architecture consisting of nanotubes, nanotube bundles, and the array spanning nano‐, micro‐, and milli‐meter. Benefiting from this structure, this array exhibits a unique near‐isotropic adhesion characteristic compared to existing reports and outperforms classical and patterned arrays with the same classical catalyst and growth conditions.
