Vertical Growth Multi- Walled Carbon Nanotubes by the Catalytic Chemical Flame Deposition Method from Coal/Kerosene

Abstract

Multi- walled carbon nanotubes MWCNT were synthesized with vertical aligned V-MWCNT from mixture coal/kerosene/sulfur by the catalytic chemical flame deposition method CCFD with using homemade reactor. The condition of precipitation was accrued at 413 K in limited atmospheric oxygen with using sulfur as catalyst to enhance precipitation. The process of synthesis showed mixture of Coal/Kerosene did not produce MWCNTs without using sulfur. The product were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis XRD, Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy SEM. The analysis showed that multi-walled carbon nanotubes were growth vertically with length reach to more than 1.75 μm and diameter 4053 nm.
