Structure and morphology of carbon nanotubes grown on zeolite-supported catalysts by chemical vapor deposition
1999
The zeolite-supported catalysts were prepared in nickel and cobalt nitrate aqueous solutions by ion exchange method. After reducing these substrates by hydrogen, we grew carbon nanotubes on them by chemical vapor deposition under different conditions. The results reveal that nickel/zeolite, cobalt/zeolite and nickel+cobalt/zeolite have different optimal conditions. When nickel+cobalt/zeolite was used as the catalyst, we can get straight carbon nanotubes. The Raman spectrum of the straight nanotubes shows they have fewer defects. We propose a growth mechanism for the growth of these nanotubes.
