Effect of Molecular Interaction Towards Homogenous Diameters for Synthesized MWCNTs from Methanol/Butanol mixture by CVDs

Abstract

Abstract Carbon nanotubes with multi-wall (MWCNT’s) with homogenousdiameters were successfully synthesized from (1:1) Methanol/Butanol bychemical vapor deposition (CVD) at 700°C using Fe as a catalyst. Themixture of alcohol includes low ratios of amorphous carbon with high ratiosof carbon atoms which are able to covert for MWCNTs. The product wascharacterized by XRD, Raman spectroscopy, SEM and EDX analysisshows the formation of carbon nanotubes MWCNT’s. The diameter oftubes shows semi-equal value when arrange between 90-105nm and thehomogeneous length reached to more than 8μm. The molecular interactionfor the mixture of C1\C4 alcohol plays an important role towards thereduction and changing the skeleton of the agglomerations for themolecules at vapor phase.
