液化石油气(LPG ) ,便宜工业材料,当生产碳 nanotube (CNT ) 的碳来源在漂浮的催化剂进程在大规模上在陶器的球形的表面上穿,被使用。陶器的范围提供巨大的表面区域和好活动性,连续地导致 CNT 数组的大量生产。从表面获得的数组排列好,并且纯净象 97.5% 一样高。与生长温度的减少,在数组的 CNT 形成与大约 13 nm 小直径能被获得。因此,与是的工业燃料碳来源和是的陶器的范围底层, CNT 数组能容易以低成本在大规模上被生产。
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), a cheap industrial material, is used as carbon source to produce carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays on ceramic spherical surface on a large scale in the floating catalyst process. The ceramic spheres provide huge surface area and good mobility, leading to the mass production of CNT arrays continuously. The arrays obtained from the surface are of good alignment, and the purity is as high as 97.5%. With the decrease of the growth temperature, CNTs in the array form with small-diameter of about 13 nm can be obtained. Therefore, with the industrial fuel as carbon source and the ceramic sphere as substrate, CNT arrays can easily be produced on large scale at low cost.
