Microstructural and electron spectroscopic characterization of carbon nanostructures and nanotubes produced using multimetal catalysts
Abstract
The microstructure of graphite arc discharge soot catalysed with Fe, Ni, Co and a mixture of Fe-Ni is investigated. It is shown that as well as single shell nanotubes and nanotube bundles, particles containing random networks of tubules and large diameter short tubules are found. Furthermore, the presence of fullerene nanocrystals directly formed during arcing is reported for the first time. The addition of a supplementary inert metallic …
