Dynamic catalyst restructuring during carbon nanotube growth.
We study the restructuring of solid nickel catalyst nanoparticles during carbon nanotube growth by environmental transmission electron microscopy and multiscale modeling. Our molecular dynamics/continuum transport calculations of surface-diffusion-mediated restructuring are in quantitative agreement with the experimentally observed catalyst shape evolutions. The restructuring time scale is dete...
متن کاملControlling the catalyst during carbon nanotube growth.
We have recently been able to grow single-walled carbon nanotubes by purely thermal chemical vapour deposition (CVD) at temperatures as low as 400 degrees C. This has been achieved by separating the catalyst pre-treatment step from the growth step. In the pre-treatment step, a thin film catalyst is re-arranged into a series of nano-droplets, which are then the active catalysts. Both steps have ...
متن کاملCatalyst rotation, twisting, and bending during multiwall carbon nanotube growth
Internal crystalline structure of cementite catalyst particles located inside the base of multiwall carbon nanotubes was studied using nanoprobe convergent-beam electron diffraction. The catalyst particles are single crystalline but exhibit combinations of small-angle ( 1 –3 ) rotations, twists, and bends along their axial length between adjacent locations. Distortions are most severe away from...

متن کاملCatalyst of Ni and Co dependencies for carbon nanotube synthesis by CVD method
In this research, the effect of catalyst type on the CNTs synthesis was investigated. The carbonnanotubes (CNTs) were produced on stainless steel substrates and two of catalyst with differentcharacteristics by using Thermal chemical vapor deposition (TCVD) method. The catalysts have theimportant role for the growth carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Acetylene gas (C2H2) diluted by NH3 wasused as the reac...
