This study investigates novel multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) grown on agricultural waste, using loaded iron nanoparticles as catalyst templates and acetylene as carbon source through chemical vapor deposition under specific conditions, to wit: 550 °C reaction temperature, 47 min reaction time, and 1 gas ratio. The specifications of MWCNTs are analyzed and characterized with the use of field-emission scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The results reveal that MWCNTs have high quality and unique morphologies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
