A Novel Nano-Carbon Rapid Growth Method in Liquid Alcohol Using Radiofrequency Induction Heating

Carbon nanotubes have been grown on both sides of a nickel−chromium substrate in methanol using radiofrequency induction heating. Hollow multiwalled carbon nanotubes were obtained that stood uniformly on both sides of the nickel−chromium substrate without added catalyst. The mechanism of nanotube gr...

Description
Summary:	Carbon nanotubes have been grown on both sides of a nickel−chromium substrate in methanol using radiofrequency induction heating. Hollow multiwalled carbon nanotubes were obtained that stood uniformly on both sides of the nickel−chromium substrate without added catalyst. The mechanism of nanotube growth is a catalytic process that takes place at the substrate surface under thermal nonequilibrium.
