摘要
The plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) of carbon nano-tubes (CNT) on nickel sheets is considered as efficient production method of great technologically interest. Different morphologies of CNT on Ni-sheets can be achieved by a variation of the process parameters, like partial pressure of the acetylene and ammoniac inlet gas mixture, the total gas pressure, and temperature. The results are summarized in a detailed growth model based on thermodynamic considerations. The conclusion from this model is that the production of single-wall nano-tubes (SWCNT), which is more desirable than multi wall variants (MWCNT) or graphite nano-fibers (GNF), requires the fastest reaction velocity for CNT formation. The PECVD supports the CNT formation, but for enhancement of the reaction velocity additional inhibitors are required. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
