Abstract: | Single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have been synthesized by supported-catalyst chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) using one-dimensional (1D) channels of mesoporous silica (SBA-15; mean channel diameter, 6.0 nm) functionalized with carboxyl groups where Co and Fe complexes are encapsulated. The synthesized SWCNTs have much larger diameters than the SWCNTs synthesized by conventional CCVD. Transmission electron microscope observations reveal that large-diameter SWCNTs (<4.2 nm) are grown in 1D channels of SBA-15. Large metal particles formed in the channels should play an important role in the growth of the SWCNTs with larger diameters. |
