催化化学气相沉积过程中硫元素引发的炭形貌衍变

以甲苯为碳源,二茂铁为催化剂,噻吩为生长促进剂,通过化学气相沉积方法得到了多分叉结构的炭.借助SEM、XRD和EDX考察了硫元素对产物的形貌和微观结构的影响.结果表明,当甲苯中的噻吩体积分数在0.01%～1%变化时,产物形貌由树状逐渐衍变为分支状.树状炭南较长而笔直的多分叉炭纤维构成,而分支状炭则由较短且弯曲的炭纤维构成.XRD结果表明硫元素对产物的微观结构没有明显的影响.

Structural changes in carbon produced by a sulfur-aided catalytic chemical vapor deposition

Branched carbon structures were formed by a chemical vapor deposition of toluene using ferrocene as a catalyst precursor and thiophene as a promoter. The effects of sulfur on the carbon products were investigated by SEM, XRD, and EDX. Results show that the product microstructure changes from tree-like to worm-like when the thiophene volume fraction in the toluene increases from 0.01 to 1%. The carbon trees consist of long, straight, and well-developed branches, while the worm carbons are composed of short and curled fibers. There is no obvious difference in d002, La and Lc for the two products.
