Synthesis Of Carbon Nanotubes By Electrochemical Deposition At Room Temperature

Keywords

Abstract

An electrochemical deposition technique developed for the production of carbon nanotubes from organic solvent at room temperature was investigated. The depositions were carried out at room temperature and magnetic stirring was employed to achieve a uniform distribution of carbonaceous deposit on the cathode. The formation and growth of carbon nanotubes were simulated by the transition metal catalysts. It was found that the electrochemical deposition conditions have a strong influence on the growth morphology of carbon nanotubes. SEM characterization showed that the diameter of carbon nanotubes was of the order of 100 nm and the length of nanotubes can be up to 20 μm.
