ABSTRACTHomogeneous composite thin films of Fe2O3-carbon nanotube were synthesized in a novel, single-step process by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) using ferric acetyl acetonate as precursor. The deposition of composite takes place in a narrow range of CVD conditions, beyond which the deposition either multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) only or hematite (α-Fe2O3) only takes place. The composite film formed on stainless steel substrates were tested for their supercapacitive properties in various aqueous electrolytes.

We demonstrate a Si-mediated environmentally friendly reduction of graphene oxide (GO) and the fabrication of hybrid electrode materials with multiwall carbon nanotubes and nanofibers. The reduction of GO is facilitated by the nascent hydrogen generated by the reaction between Si and KOH. The overall process consumes 10 to 15 μm of Si each time and the same Si substrate can be used multiple times.

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.
