“Optimization of the amount of catalyst and reaction time in single wall nanotube production”. Horvath ZE, Biro LP, Van Tendeloo G, Tondeur C, Bister G, Pierard N, Fonseca A, Nagy JB, Diffusion and defect data : solid state data : part B : solid state phenomena 94, 271 (2003)
Abstract: The influence of the amount of catalyst and the reaction time on the quantity and quality of catalytically grown single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT) was investigated. The aim was to optimize some of the SWNT growth parameters using TEM and HRTEM. The thickness of catalyst layer influences the synthesis of the nanotube because the gas composition can differ between top and bottom. Microscopic investigation of the grown SWNT samples showed that the thicker the catalyst layer the lower relative nanotube content, so the deeper parts of the catalyst layer are less effective: The optimum time for the reaction was found to be 10 minutes. This may be understood assuming that nanotube growth needs an initial incubation time while the activity of the catalyst decreases steadily until the nariotube growth stops.
