Abstract

Tailored pore size mesoporous silica, incorporating different concentrations of transition metal-based catalysts, has been used as platforms for the growth of carbon nanotubes by the chemical vapor deposition method. Thermogravimetric analysis alongside EDX/SEM was employed to characterize the samples prior to CNT growth. The CNTs produced were characterized using Raman Spectroscopy and HI RES SEM. Raman spectroscopy showed good quality highly graphitic CNTs whose diameters matched the corresponding pores of the matrices. The density of the CNTs was found to be high for higher metal concentrations for the same pore diameters. Fe and Co were found to be better catalysts for growth of CNTs than Ni.
