Growing carbon nanotubes by microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition

Abstract

A processing route has been developed to grow bundles of carbon nanotubes on substrates from methane and hydrogen mixtures by microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition, catalyzed by iron particles reduced from ferric nitrate. Growth takes place at about 900°C leading to nanotubes with lengths of more than 20 μm and diameters on the nanometer scale.
