ABSTRACTCeramic barriers avoid catalyst diffusion to produce better multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNT) on carbon fiber fabrics (CF). We developed a simple method to produce efficiently a silica layer from TEOS pyrolysis at similar conditions of CNT growth from camphor and ferrocene mixtures. This protective layer prevents iron diffusion and allows the vertical alignment of CNTs.

A newly designed gas phase thermal decomposition reactor, ohmically heating the catalytic sites, has been used to synthesize multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on carbon paper and stainless steel screen. Co-Ni catalyst particles were dispersed by a silane intermediate layer adsorbed onto the carbon fibers or the stainless steel threads of the supports. MWCNTs were obtained on both substrates by a tip grown mechanism. They are about 20 μm in length and 15–50 nm in diameter. A methanol pretreatment of the carbon fibers significantly increased the density of the tubes on the carbon paper, but the same treatment had a negative effect on stainless steel. The MWCNTs, which adhere firmly to the carbon paper and the stainless steel screen, may find applications as electrodes in fuel cells, sensors and in photonics.

Recently alcohols and ketones have been employed to sensitize CNT by CVD. A study has shown the importance of the chemical nature of those carbon precursors on the characteristics of the CNT (carbon nanotubes) obtained. In the present work we show the influence of the catalyst employed on the synthesis of functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) utilizing acetone as carbon source and cobalt nitrate Co(NO3)2as catalyst.

The growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) from surface of carbon fibers rods (CFRs) as used supports is under investigation using the Fe-catalytic chemical vapor deposition method. TEM studies indicate that under the experimental conditions Fe catalysts on CFRs produces mostly bundles of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). SEM results show the best presence of bundles of MWCNTs for Fe catalysts of 6.5 mol % at 800°C.
