Effect of a Metallocene Catalyst Mixture on CNT Yield Using the FC-CVD Process
2022
Overview
This work studies synthesis of carbon nanotube (CNT) sheet using the high temperature (1400 °C) floating catalyst chemical vapor deposition (FC-CVD) method. Three metallocenes—ferrocene, nickelocene, cobaltocene—and their combinations are used as precursors for metal catalysts in the synthesis process. For the carbon source, an alcohol fuel, a combination of methanol and n-hexane (9:1), is used. First, the metallocenes were dissolved in the alcohol fuel. Then, the fuel mixture was injected into a tube furnace using an ultrasonic atomizer with Ar/H2 carrier gas in a ratio of about 12/1. The synthesis of CNTs from a combination of two or three metallocenes reduces the percentage of metal catalyst impurity in the CNT sheet. However, there is an increase in structural defects in the CNTs when using mixtures of two or three metallocenes as catalysts. Furthermore, the specific electrical conductivity of the CNT sheet was highest when using a mixture of ferrocene and cobaltocene as the catalyst. Overall, the multi-catalyst method described enables tailoring certain properties of the CNT sheet. However, the standard ferrocene catalyst seems most appropriate for large-scale manufacturing at the lowest cost.
