In order to improve surface characteristics of carbon fibers, using nickel granules as catalysts, nano carbon with different morphologies was deposited in-situ on the surface of carbon fibers by the method of Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). The observations by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) indicated that keeping the excellent performance of plating nickels catalyst and a suitable deposition rate of Pyrogenation Carbon (PyC) are the key factors for getting Carbon Nanotube and Carbon Nanofiber (CNT/CNF). In this experiment, the optimum operation conditions are: plating time at 5min, deposition temperature at 1173K, deposition time at 2 hours, flow of C3H6, H2 and N2 at 30, 200 and 400ml/min respectively, deposition pressure at 700-1000Pa. Evolution rules of nano carbon are explained in growth mechanism of Catalytic Chemical Vapor Deposition (CCVD).

Submicro-scaled graphite flakes with uniform distribution on the surface of carbon fiber were grown in situ by catalytic chemical vapor deposition with natural gas as feedstock. Morphology and structure parameter of graphite flakes were characterized by scanning electron microscope and Raman spectroscopy respectively. The results show that graphite flakes with assistance of iron hydroxide aqueous collosol had better shape, higher density and graphitization degree compared with specimen prepared with ferric chloride solution. The size in plane of as grown graphite flakes is in the range of 1-3 μm. Microcrystal domain size of graphite flakes is calculated about 5 nm according to ration of intensity of D band to G band in Raman spectra.

Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) have been synthesized in high yield (>70%) by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) on Co/LiF catalyst using acetylene as carbon source. A novel catalyst support (LiF) is reported for the first time as an alternative for large-scale production of carbon nanofibers while purification process of nanofibers is easier. In our experiment, the sealed furnace was heated at700∘Cfor 0.5 hour (the heating rate was10∘C/min) and then cooled to room temperature in the furnace naturally. Catalytic chemical vapor deposition is of interest for fundamental understanding and improvement of commercial synthesis of carbon nanofibers (CNFs). The obtained sample was sequentially washed with ethanol, dilutes acid, and distilled water to remove residual impurities, amorphous carbon materials, and remaining of catalyst, and then dried at110∘Cfor 24 hours. The combined physical characterization through several techniques, such as high-resolution transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), thermogarvimetric analysis (TGA), and zeta-sizer and Raman spectroscopy, allows determining the geometric characteristic and the microstructure of individual carbon nanofibers. Catalytic chemical vapor deposition is of interest for fundamental understanding and improvement of commercial synthesis of carbon nanofibers (CNFs). As a matter of fact, the method of CCVD guarantees the production of CNFs for different applications.

Synthesis of carbon fibers of cotton by chemical vapor deposition (CDV) method is the main focus of this study. Having ferocene as the catalyst, the study explored effects of synthesis process at different temperatures (750°C, 850°C and 950°C). Analysis of size, shape and structure were conducted using scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and Raman spectroscope. The result showed that average diameter of carbon fibers tended to increase according to temperature. In addition, it was found that surface of the fiber is bend and helical. Also, higher temperature affected graphitic of the fiber.
