Microscopy and Spectroscopy Characterization of Carbon Nanotubes Grown at Different Temperatures Using Cyclohexanol as Carbon Source

الملخص EN

We present the structural and spectroscopy characterization of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) grown by the spray pyrolysis technique, using ferrocene as catalyzer and cyclohexanol as the carbon source, and synthetized in a temperature range of 750 to 1000°C.

The structural morphology was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

The spectroscopy response was obtained by UV-Vis and Raman spectroscopy.

We observed morphological changes and found that the product yield seems to increase with temperature.

The optical characterization corroborated the presence of n – π∗ transitions and Van Hove singularities as result of possible electrical conductivity changes.
