摘 要: 以Ni:Cr=3:1的双金属层作为催化剂,用C2H2为碳源气体利用化学气相沉积(CVD)法,在不同的温度下制备纳米碳管。扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和透射电子显微镜(TEM)研究制备产物发现:当制备温度高于900℃时,没有纳米碳管生成,制备温度在700-800℃之间纳米碳管中填充有一些离散分布的金属Ni纳米线,制备温度在650℃有纳米碳管生成,但是纳米碳管中没有发现纳米线的填充。通过高分辨透射电子显微镜(HRTEM)分析发现,纳米线是以液态或是粘滞液态填充进纳米碳管。根据实验结果,提出了一个在本实验条件下纳米线填充进纳米碳管的气-液/固-固V-L/S-S(vapor-liquid/solid-solid)模型,这个模型能解释一些传统的V-L-S(vapor-liquid-solid)模型不能解释的实验现象。 MWCNTs were prepared with the help of Ni-Cr alloy (Ni : Cr=3 : 1) as catalyst in a thermal chemical vapor deposition system by thermally decomposing acetylene at different temperature. SEM and HRTEM have been used to study the CNTs prepared at a temperature range of 650-900℃. Only the MWCNTs synthesized within the temperature range of 700-800℃ were filled with metal Ni single crystal nanoparticles or nanowires. No nanoparticles or nanowires were found in the cavity of prepared CNTs if the growing tempera- ture was low down 650℃ while even no CNTs were synthesized if the growing temperature is high up to 900℃. From the shape of nanoparticle inside the CNT it is concluded that the metal Ni must be liquid when the CNTs were synthesized. A Vapor-Solid/Liquid-Solid (V-L/S-S) growth mechanism is proposed. This V-L/S-S model can explain some experimental phenomena very well, which cannot be explained by traditional Vapor-Liquid- Solid (V-L-S) model.
