摘要
We report the catalytic synthesis of carbon nanotubes filled with Ni by chemical vapor deposition over the Raney-Ni catalyst. Straight and two types of bamboo-shaped carbon nanotubes have been discovered under TEM. Further investigation with TEM shows that an obvious tendency exists, i.e. the straight nanotube encapsulating Ni completely; as for the compartments of bamboo-shaped nanotube, either every one filled with a small Ni particle or only the end is capped with a needle-shaped Ni, which suggests different growth mechanism.
