Abstract

Carbon nanowall films were synthesized by plasma enhanced hot filament chemical vapour deposition on carbon paper, a three dimensionally structured material. The micro-structured nature of the carbon paper, which is composed of an irregular and open mesh of carbon fibres, allowed one to determine the microstructure of the carbon nanowalls both at the tip and at the fibre–nanowall base interface. The number of graphenes which pile up to form the structure of a single nanowall ranges from 1 to 2 at the tip up to several 10s at the base, making this material suitable to study and eventually exploit the electronic properties of graphenes on a macroscopic scale. Such material is promising for electrochemical applications.
