Synthesis and Characterization of Large Area Carbon Nanotubes Array

Abstract

Large area carbon nanotubes array were synthesized on the quartz glass by a simple chemical vapor deposition. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy were used to evaluate the morphology and structure. The results show that the well-aligned arrays are synthesized and their length can reach millimeter range, these CNTs have varying outer diameters from 20 to 70 nm and display hollow tubular structures.
