Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNT) are synthesized by catalytic chemical vapor deposition with different compositions of Ni-La-O catalyst precursors obtained by citric acid complexometry. Only two compounds: LaNiO3 (perovskite-type crystal structure, hexagonal system) and La2NiO4 (spinel-type crystal structure, orthorhombic system) in the obtained Ni-La-O catalyst precursors have the ability to grow CNT. Moreover, CNT obtained with the two different crystal structure catalyst precursors have different characteristics: different yield, pattern and oxidation resistance performance.
