SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF 3D CARBON NANOTUBES
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 February 2018
Abstract
A nanomaterial that attracts the attention in a variety of research areas is multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), due to their good mechanical proprieties, and high electrical and thermal conductivity. For this reason, the preparation of three-dimensional (3D) structures from them draws interest because it opens new horizons to produce materials with novel properties and useful applications. In this investigation the synthesis of 3D nanotube carbon (nanoforest type) functionalized with nanoparticles of silver, aluminum, and iron was studied. A 3D structure was produced in the form of aligned microchannels. The functionalization of carbon nanotubes with nanoparticles of silver, aluminum or iron during the synthesis process of carbon nanotubes, was carried out through spray-pyrolysis with different synthesis time and solution concentration. The results were characterized through microscopy SEM, TEM and Raman’s spectroscopy.
