Abstract

This study investigates the influence of shape of Inconel 600 substrate on the deposition process using Microwave Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition (MPECVD) for carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and graphene nanowalls (GNWs) on Inconel 600 substrates. The unique shape of the substrate significantly directs the deposition, revealing a noteworthy shape influenced transition. Notably, a novel pathway emerges for the electric field-driven transformation of Carbon Nanofibers (CNFs) into GNWs—an observation unprecedented in MPECVD processes. Comprehensive characterization, incorporating FESEM, Raman spectroscopy, and fully electromagnetic 3D frequency domain simulations, illuminates the subtle yet impactful interplay between substrate morphology and nanomaterial formation, providing valuable scientific insights.
