Abstract
ABSTRACTBipolar pulsed arc-discharge method has been studied for the efficient production of high quality single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). Gas pressure and discharge current dependence of this method has been carried out to obtain the optimum production condition. The experimental results show no cathode deposition, and almost all the sublimated carbon becomes soot containing SWNTs. The production rate increases with increasing gas pressure and discharge current. The high production rate with high quality SWNTs is obtained around the conditions of helium gas pressure, p (He) = 50 – 70 kPa and discharge current, Id ≃ 55 A. The morphology of the SWNTs is measured by a TEM and the quality is analyzed by a Raman spectrometer.
