Carbon nanotubes coated by carbon nanoparticles of turbostratic stacked graphenes
Abstract.
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) decorated by a high density of carbon nanoparticles of turbostratic
graphene stacks have been fabricated by low energy hydrocarbon ion deposition at
700 oC. Transmission and scanning electron microscopy show that the carbon particles of
turbostratic graphene stacks extend from the nanotube surface. The diameter of CNTs
decreases with the increasing percentage of hydrogen in the gas phase. Raman spectroscopy
indicates that the formation of carbon nanoparticles of turbostratic graphene stacks
results from the high temperature used in the experiment. Meanwhile, Raman spectroscopy
and high resolution transmission electron microscopy indicate that the carbon nanoparticle
degree of crystallinity is lower with increasing hydrogen content in the gas phase
due to the etching effect of hydrogen ions.
