Carbon Nanotube Synthesis and Growth Mechanism | …

2010-11-3 · Arc-discharge method, in which the first CNT was discovered, employs evaporation of graphite electrodes in electric arcs that involve very high (~4000º C) temperatures (Iijima, 1991). Although arc-grown CNTs are well crystallized, they are highly impure; about 60–70% of the arc-grown product contains metal particles and amorphous carbon.

Carbon Nanotube Synthesis - AZoNano.com

A Process Diagram for Arc Method CNT Synthesis. The method makes CNTs through arc-vaporization of two carbon rods situated end to end in a location that is filled with low pressure and inert gas. The discharge evaporates the surface of one of the carbon electrodes, and creates a tiny rod-shaped deposit on the opposing electrode.

Carbon Nanotube Emissions from Arc Discharge …

This study investigated workplace CNT emissions using a combination of time-integrated filter sampling for scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and direct reading aerosol instruments (DRIs). Material and methods: Field measurements were performed during small-scale manufacturing of multiwalled carbon nanotubes using the arc discharge technique.

Carbon Nanotube Emissions from Arc Discharge …

Another method for CNT generation is the arc discharge technique, which is an inexpensive way of producing high-quality CNTs without the use of metal catalysts. The drawback is a high amount of graphite impurities. To the best of our knowledge, there are no published studies of workplace emissions and exposures during CNT production with the ...

Fabrication, Purification and Characterization of …

2012-3-16 · There are three important methods to produce high quality CNT namely laser , arc discharge [21, 22], and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) [23, 24]. Recently, arc discharge in liquid media has been developed to synthesize several types of nano-carbon structures such as: carbon onions, carbon nanohorns and carbon nanotubes.

Rigaku VPD Applications: Arc Discharge for Nanotubes

Arc discharge. Nanotubes were first observed in 1991 in the carbon soot of graphite electrodes during an arc discharge experiment that was intended to produce fullerenes. However the first large scale production of carbon nanotubes was made in 1992 by two researchers at NEC's Fundamental Research Laboratory. The method used was the same as in 1991.

Exposure and emission measurements during …

Limited exposure data for CNTs exist today and no legally enforced occupational exposure limits are yet established. The aim of this work was to quantify the occupational exposures and emissions during arc discharge production, purification, and functionalization of MWCNTs. The CNT material handled typically had a mean length <5 μm.
