Abstract:Abstract. Effect of the support and preparation method of the Ni/CaO and Ni/CaCO 3 impregnated catalysts on the morphology, diameters and growth mechanisms of the MWCNTs grown from ethylene by CCVD synthesis were studied. It was found that the interactions between the support and Ni nanoparticles in both cases are mainly weak and the growth mechanism of the majority of the carbon nanotubes is the "tip-growth". The structure of the nanotubes produced using different catalysts was, however, significantly differe… Show more
