Abstract
This paper reports a study on vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNTs) synthesized by thermal chemical vapor deposition (TCVD) method using eco-friendly carbon source; palm oil. Palm oil vaporized at 450oC in argon atmosphere at ambient pressure. For better decomposition of palm oil complex structure, ferrocene were added into palm oil and stirred for 20 minutes prior to synthesis process. The synthesis and annealing duration took 30 and 10 minutes respectively. The field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and infrared spectroscopy analysis were systematically studied on CNTs produced. The detailed of CNTs properties will be discussed further.
