Abstract
In this paper, the synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on different substrates (i.e. Cu, Cr, Ta, Au, Ti, and Si) was performed using heated nozzle chemical vapour deposition (HN-CVD). The diffusion of high-order hydrocarbon radicals, i.e. CaHb (where a = 5, 6, and 7) generated through the heated nozzle (800-850 °C) via pyrolysis (they were verified by in-situ mass spectroscopy), which is placed a few centimeters above the substrate, plays an important role in CNT growth. Thus, the growth of CNTs deposited on the substrates, which were unavailable in thermal chemical vapour deposition (T-CVD) (540-600 °C), could be correlated to these precursors.
