AbstractThis present work deals with the temperature dependence on the growth and structure of CNTs grown by thermal CVD. The vertically aligned CNTs are synthesized on iron (Fe)-deposited silicon oxide (SiO2) substrate by thermal CVD using acetylene gas at temperatures in the range 750-950°C. Configuration and structural characteristics of CNTs have been investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). As the growth temperature increases from 750 to 950°C, the growth rate and the average diameter increase while the density decreases by a factor of about 2. TEM images show that the relative amount of crystalline graphitic sheets increases with increasing the growth temperature and a higher degree of crystalline perfection can be achieved at 950°C. The HRTEM images reveal consistently that the degree of crystalline perfection increases progressively as the growth temperature increases. This result demonstrates that the growth rate, diameter, density, and crystallinity of carbon nanotubes can be controlled with the growth temperature.
