Abstract
In this study, VA-CNTs were synthesized homogeneously on Al foil at 610 oC temperature by Floating Catalyst Chemical Vapor Deposition (FCCVD) method in a horizontal tube furnace. While ethanol was used as the carbon source, ferrocene was used as the catalyst. VA-CNTs with diameters in the range of ~10-15 nm and lengths in the range of ~30-35 µm were obtained. Structural and morphological analyzes of VA-CNTs were determined using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Energy Dispersion X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS), Raman Spectroscopy and X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). These VA-CNTs, synthesized by the FCCVD method on an Al foil in a large area, have the potential applications to be used especially in energy storage, optoelectronic, and sensor.
