Can I read Floating catalyst CVD synthesis of carbon nanotubes from CpFe(CO)2X (X = Me, I): Poisoning effects of I on EtoBox?

Floating catalyst CVD synthesis of carbon nanotubes from CpFe(CO)2X (X = Me, I): Poisoning effects of I by M. Sarah Mohlala; Neil J. Coville is a Chemistry article available to read on EtoBox.

What is Floating catalyst CVD synthesis of carbon nanotubes from CpFe(CO)2X (X = Me, I): Poisoning effects of I about?

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), carbon fibers (CFs) and carbon spheres (CSs) were synthesized by an injection chemical vapour deposition (CVD) method using toluene solutions of CpFe(CO) 2 Me as catalyst. The effect of pyrolysis temperature (800-1000 °C), catalyst concentration (5 and 10 wt% in toluene) and solution injection rate (0.2 and 0.8 ml/min) on the type and yield of carbonaceous product synthesized was investigated. The carbonaceous materials were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and Raman spectroscopy. The use of CpFe(CO) 2 I as catalyst generated only carbon fibres and balls (wide range of conditions). Studies involving the addition of I 2 to catalyst solutions confirmed the poisoning effect of I on CNT production.
