Abstract

A novel process for synthesizing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in ethanol flames is described. The CNTs grow on a nanocrystalline Ni layer which was electro-deposited on a Ni substrate using periodic reverse (PR) pulse plating. The grain size of the plating and CNT morphology were revealed using XRD, SEM, TEM and Raman spectroscopy. It was found that the quality of the plating and the corresponding CNTs were related to two plating parameters: output pulse frequency ( f) and duty cycle ( r). The growth mechanism of CNTs in this process is discussed.
