One-Dimensional Nanomaterials——Carbon Nanotubes Reporter : Teammates: Wan jun Wu Yuanhe Wang Binbin Yang Yongzhu 1 1 4 2 3 Outline Introduction Structure and Properties Preparation Applications Introduction Sumio Iijima Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was first discovered by Iijima in 1991 CNTs: rolling up a thin graphene sheet. CNTs SWCNTs MWCNTs Production Methods 1.Arc-discharge method 2.Laser Vaporization method 3.Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) Preparation CVD methods have been successfully applied in making carbon nanotubes. The growth process with this method involves heating a catalyst material to high temperatures in a tube furnace and flowing a hydrocarbon gas through the tube reactor for a period of time. Materials grown over the catalyst are collected upon cooling the system to room temperature. parameters: hydrocarbons, catalysts: such as transition-metal nanoparticles growth temperature. Left diagram: base growth mode. Right diagram: tip growth mode CVD growth mechanism Process : Dissociation of hydrocarbon molecules catalyzed by the transition metal. Dissolution and saturation of carbon atoms in the metal nanoparticle. Precipitation of carbon from the saturated metal particle leads to the formation of tubular carbon solids in sp2 structure. Growth mechanism of a carbon nanotube at an open end by the absorption of C2 dimers and C3 trimers (in black), respectively The adsorption of a C2 dimer or a C3 trimer at the active dangling bond edge site will add one hexagon to the open end. Tubule formation is favored over other forms of carbon, because a tube contains no dangling bonds and therefore is in a low energy form. Schematic experimental setups for other two nanotube growth methods Single-walled nanotubes grown by laser ablation Structure and Properties The uniqueness of the nanotube arises from its structure and the inherent subtl
