Can anybody share their practical experience on CNT synthesis by the floating catalyst CVD method

Please consider that I have following facilities in my lab:

- Single chamber horizontal CVD furnace (1 m length & 5 cm dia. quartz tube)

- Toluene as C- source

- Fe salts/ Ferrocene in Toluene as floating catalyst

- Nitrogen is the only carrier gas

Please guide:

- Are those things sufficient for the synthesis of MWCNTs?

- I am also working to improve the source inlet system (currently manually injecting with syringe)

- At what stage the actual deposition of decomposed C- source starts to form CNTs

Tamoghna Bhattacharyya

These things are sufficient for synthesis but you should be very cautious when you are purifying it after synthesis (although it is CVD process) because a lot of amorphous carbon and metal defects will be there with this synthesized MWCNTs.
