Abstract |
The morphological composition of catalytically growing carbon nanostructures formed under conditions of low-temperature conversion of hydrocarbon molecules is characterized by low quality of the structure due to their significant heterogeneity, since in addition to carbon nanotubes, this product also contains other carbon materials of various morphologies and sizes. The problem of purifying catalytically synthesized carbon nanotubes is aggravated by the simultaneous growth of different morphologies of the product in the same part of the reactor. Therefore, the issue of optimizing the conditions for more selective conversion of a hydrocarbon into a carbon nanotube, uniform in morphology and perfect in composition and structure, is quite relevant. In the carbonyl technology for the production of nickel and iron powders, carbon monoxide is used as a reaction gas and carrier gas, which can also serve as a source of carbon in the formation of carbon nanostructures, due to its ability to disproportionate with the release of carbon. The article presents the results of studies of carbon nanotube synthesis by the supergrowth method in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using various metal substrates, carbon-containing materials (carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons) and organometallic catalysts. The technological scheme of a universal laboratory setup for studying the processes of obtaining carbon nanotubes is presented. The results of studying the obtained samples by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy confirm the possibility of obtaining an array of vertically oriented carbon nanotubes using carbon monoxide as a carbon source. |
