Impact on Electrodes During Plasma Decomposition of CO2

ABSTRACTIn order to utilise the full potential of carbon nanotubes/nanofibers, it is necessary to be able to synthesize well aligned nanotubes/nanofibres at desired locations on a substrate. This paper examines the preferential growth of aligned carbon nanofibres by PECVD using lithographically patterned catalysts. In the PECVD deposition process, amorphous carbon is deposited together with the nanotubes due to the plasma decomposition of the carbon feed gas, in this case, acetylene. The challenge is to uniformly nucleate nanotubes and reduce the unwanted amorphous carbon on both the patterned and unpatterned areas. An etching gas (ammonia) is thus also incorporated into the PECVD process and by appropriately balancing the acetylene to ammonia ratio, conditions are obtained where no unwanted amorphous carbon is deposited. In this paper, we demonstrate high yield, uniform, ‘clean’ and preferential growth of vertically aligned nanotubes using PECVD.

Abstract Simulations and experiments are conducted to model, simulate, test and demonstrate the effect of plasma discharges on decomposition of carbon dioxide (CO2). A pin-to-plane discharge is employed in gas samples containing CO2. A high voltage plasma system is used which was previously shown to be able to decrease CO2 concentration in gas samples. The discharge is modeled and described, including monitoring electrical parameters such as current and voltage. The present study investigated plasma decomposition of carbon dioxide experimentally, and through simulation. A plasma micro-discharge was utilized to better understand plasma-CO2 interactions. Enhancements are suggested to help increase the efficiency and yield of the plasma-CO2 decomposition process. Gas samples are analyzed over time using a CO2 meter.
