Abstract
Abstract:We demonstrated that single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) grew from Ir catalysts by an alcohol catalytic chemical vapor deposition (ACCVD) method using a gas source-type CVD system. At an ethanol pressure of 1×10−1 Pa at 800°C, vertically aligned SWCNTs (VA-SWCNTs) were grown on SiO2/Si substrates. As the growth time became longer, the VA-SWCNT became thicker, and it reached almost 5 μm for a growth time of 180 min. The Raman spectroscopy results showed that the diameters of the grown SWCNTs were mainly distributed below 1.1 nm, indicating that the SWCNTs grown from Ir catalysts had small diameters compared with those from other metal catalysts.
