Low Temperature Growth of SWNTs on a Nickel Catalyst by Thermal Chemical Vapor Deposition

Single-walled carbon nanotubes （SWNTs） have been grown on a silica-supported monometallic nickel （Ni） catalyst at temperatures ranging from as low as 450℃to 800℃. Different spectroscopic techniques, such as Raman, photoluminescence emission （PLE）, and ultra violet-visible-near infrared （UV-vis-NIR）...

Summary:Single-walled carbon nanotubes （SWNTs） have been grown on a silica-supported monometallic nickel （Ni） catalyst at temperatures ranging from as low as 450℃to 800℃. Different spectroscopic techniques, such as Raman, photoluminescence emission （PLE）, and ultra violet-visible-near infrared （UV-vis-NIR） absorption spectroscopy were used to evaluate file diameter and quality of the SWNTs grown over the Ni catalyst at different temperatures. The analysis revealed that high quality SWNTs with a very narrow diameter distribution were obtained at a growth temperature of 500 ℃. In the PLE and absorption spectra, differences were observed between the SWNTs grown oil Ni and those grown on cobalt （Co）. This result expands the potential of growing a specific （n, m） tube species with relatively high abundance by tuning the catalyst composition. Furthermore, the prerequisites for the low temperature growth of SWNTs over a monometallic transition metal catalyst have been elucidated.
