Carbon nanofibers and single-walled carbon nanotubes prepared by the floating catalyst method

TL;DR: In this article, high quality, uniform diameter and rather straight carbon nanofibers with diameter ∼10 nm were produced by the floating catalyst method, and they also obtained single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) by this method.

Chemical vapor deposition of pyrolytic carbon on carbon nanotubes: Part 1. Synthesis and morphology

TL;DR: In this paper, the chemical vapor deposition of the pyrocarbon from a CH4+H2 mixture is investigated using nanofilamentous substrates and various nanometric and micrometric morphologies were synthesized and found constituted with an association of different sub-morphologies.
Journal ArticleDOI

An investigation of vapor-grown carbon fiber behavior towards air oxidation

TL;DR: In this article, different peaks are present in the rate of gasification curves and attribute this result to the presence of traces of iron in the fibers and on the other hand to the triplex structure of these kind of fibers which are composed of a central carbon filament and two regions of chemical vapor deposited (CVD) carbon: an inner core, and an outer shell.

Method of producing vapor-grown carbon fibers

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for producing vapor-grown carbon fibers, comprising contacting a carbon compound with a catalyst and/or a catalyst precursor compound in a heating zone, was proposed, wherein the carbon compound is a combination of compounds respectively selected from carbon compounds having no benzene ring structure within molecule [Group (a)] and from aromatic compounds [Group(b)].

Fe(NO3)3.9H2O and Fe3(CO)12 as catalyst precursors for the elaboration of VGCF: SEM and TEM study—improvement of the process

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of two catalyst precursors, namely Fe(NO 3 ) 3.9H 2 O and Fe 3 (CO) 12, on the elaboration of carbon fibres was investigated.

Why are carbon filaments tubular

TL;DR: In this paper, the chemical potential of such an arrangement was considered and it was shown that it is energetically favorable for the filament to create a hollow core rather than precipitate highly strained cylindrical planes of small diameter.

Theory of particle formation and growth in oxide synthesis flames

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the factors that determine the ultimate particle size in pyrogenic silica synthesis and show that the size of the final particle is determined solely by the frequency of Brownian collisions.

An adsorption-diffusion isotherm and its application to the growth of carbon filaments on iron catalyst particles

TL;DR: In this article, steady state carbon surface coverage on graphitic filament growing particles is determined by the balance between the surface adsorption rate and the rate of diffusion through the solid particle to the filament.

Carbon fibers produced by pyrolysis of natural gas in stainless steel tubes

TL;DR: In this paper, carbon fibers of uniform diameter have been grown by pyrolysis of natural gas in type 304 stainless steel (18% Cr, 8% Ni) tubes at temperatures between 950 and 1075 °C.
