A Review of Carbon Nanomaterials’ Synthesis via the Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) Method

Abstract

Carbon nanomaterials have been extensively used in many applications owing to their unique thermal, electrical and mechanical properties. One of the prime challenges is the production of these nanomaterials on a large scale. This review paper summarizes the synthesis of various carbon nanomaterials via the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. These carbon nanomaterials include fullerenes, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbon nanofibers (CNFs), graphene, carbide-derived carbon (CDC), carbon nano-onion (CNO) and MXenes. Furthermore, current challenges in the synthesis and application of these nanomaterials are highlighted with suggested areas for future research.

Graphene‐SiO2 Interaction from Composites to Doping

“…[37][38][39] The large scale production itself of Gr has been shown to be critical and in this context many efforts have been done to obtain large size and low defectiveness monolayers evidencing that chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is one of the best routes to prepare high quality large extension materials. [6,40,41] The transfer of CVD Gr to a final substrate is of main importance for devices and gives rise to drawbacks related to the residuals of the transfer medium that is usually removed by opportune thermal budgets. [36,[42][43][44][45] Overall, many of the above features are related to the thermal treatments of Gr during production, transfer, or use and the criticisms arising from the used atmosphere have been widely considered to elucidate the role of different molecules and of thermal mismatch between Gr and substrate.…”

Applications of nano-materials in diverse dentistry regimes

“…The benets of CVD include higher purity, uniformity, and hardness, with the shortcoming that it requires specic instruments and gaseous by-products that would be strongly poisonous. 77,78 3.2.4. Pyrolysis.…”

“…However, one should keep in mind that the critical length scale is not necessarily 100 nm, as it depends on the material and property under consideration . For carbon atoms, the main representative materials according to this classification are: buckyballs (linear or 0‐D), nanotubes (1‐D), graphene (plane or 2‐D), and diamond and graphite (tetrahedral or 3‐D), , see Figure .…”
