Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of Ni, Pd, and Pt films and of Ni/Pd and Pd/Pt bimetallic films on multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) can be effected at low temperature if the nanotubes are pretreated by CVD of titanium carbide. In the absence of the pretreatment, the CVD leads to formation of isolated nanoparticles of the nickel-group metals. The metallized MWCNTs are curved or kinked, as a result of the interaction with the metal. Preliminary oxidation of the carbon nanotubes allows easier metallization, and the bending of the metallated nanotubes is not observed in this case.Key words: Chemical vapor deposition, platinum, palladium, nickel, carbon, nanotube.

The optimization of chemical vapor deposition synthesis conditions for multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was experimentally investigated. Carbon nanotubes were grown on cobalt substrate thicknesses of 20, 100 and 1000 nm at 700 and 900 0C with 2 replications. The configuration and morphology of the carbon nanotubes were investigated by scanning electron microscope and Fourier transform raman spectrometer, respectively. The tendency of the parameters was evaluated by statistical design of experiment. Observations on samples produced under our optimised production process, showed that a large number of MWCNTs bundles were produced. Diameter of MWCNTs bundles ranges between 30 and 100 nm throughout the samples. From the variance analysis of the Raman spectra we observe that the thickness of cobalt and temperature of synthesis are highly significant in which the coherence length and innermost diameter increase for either the thickness increases or the temperature decreases.

Multiwall Carbon

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a preferential method to fabricate carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Several changes have been proposed to obtain improved CNTs. In this work we have fabricated nitrogen-doped multiwall carbon nanotubes (N-MWCNTs) by means of a CVD which has been slightly modified. Such modification consists in changing the content of the by-product trap. Instead of acetone, we have half-filled the trap with an aqueous solution of NaCl (0–26.82 wt.%). Scanning electron microscope (SEM) characterization showed morphological changes depending upon concentration of NaCl included in the trap. Using high resolution transmission electron microscopy several shape changes on the catalyst nanoparticles were also observed. According to Raman spectroscopy results N-MWCNTs fabricated using pure distillate water exhibit better crystallinity. Resistivity measurements performed on different samples by physical properties measurement Evercool system (PPMS) showed metallic to semiconducting temperature dependent transitions when high content of NaCl is used. Results of magnetic properties show a ferromagnetic response to static magnetic fields and the coercive fields were very similar for all the studied cases. However, saturation magnetization is decreased if aqueous solution of NaCl is used in the trap.
