Synthesis Of carbon

Nanotubes

1. Arc Method

2. Laser Ablation

3. Chemical Vapour Deposition


22/29

1. Arc Method

--Yield up to 30%by weight

--Further purificationis required

--Both SWNT and MWNT upto length

of 50um can be produced


23/29

2. Laser Ablation

--Yield >70%by weight

--Produces primarilySWNT

--Further purification is required

--Most expensive method


24/29

3. Chemical VapourDeposition


25/29

Deposition

--Large volume of CNTs can beformed

--Plasma enhanced chemicaldeposition- synthesize vertically

aligned carbon nanotubes--Without the plasma, the resulting

nanotubes are often randomly


26/29

Advantages

- Single-Walled Nanotubes

- Multi-Walled Nanotubes


27/29


28/29

-Nanotubes

1. Their resistance to chemicals isimproved

2. Do not need a catalyst forgrowth

3. Do not contain magnetic

impurities
