초록
RTCVD(rapid thermal chemical vapor deposition) 반응기에서 Ni 촉매를 이용하여 탄소나노튜브(carbon nanotube, CNT)를 성장시켰다. 탄소나노튜브의 최적성장조건을 찾기 위하여 촉매 기판의 종류, 성장온도와 시간, 촉매의 함량, 희석기체의 종류를 변환시켜가며 성장하여 그 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 Ni/Al2O3 디스크형 펠렛을 기판으로 사용하여 아세틸렌(C2H2) 원료기체와 수소(H2) 희석기체를 각각 10 sccm과 100 sccm을 공급하면서 600 ℃, 1 torr에서 30분 동안 성장시킬 때 탄소나노튜브가 가장 잘 성장함을 알 수 있었다. 성장된 탄소나노튜브는 단일벽 탄소나노튜브(single-wall carbon nanotube, SWNT)였다. 성장 중 반응기 내의 기체를 분석한 결과 성장온도에서 C2H2가 기상에서 분해되어 탄소나노튜브의 성장에 참여하는 것이 아니고 C2H2 기체 분자가 Ni 촉매 표면에 흡착된 후 탄소 원자로 분해되어 탄소나노튜브 성장반응에 참여하는 것임을 알 수 있었다.
Carbon nanotubes were grown using nickel catalyst in a rapid thermal chemical vapor deposition(RTCVD) reactor. The optimum growth condition of carbon nanotubes was examined as functions of catalyst type, growth temperature and time, catalyst content, and dilution gas. It was observed that large amount of carbon nanotubes was grown on a Ni/Al2O3 disctype pellet at 600 ℃ and 1 torr for 30 min with 10 sccm C2H2 and 100 sccm H2, respectively. The grown nanotubes were identified to be a single-wall carbon nanotube. The gas analysis during the growth showed that C2H2 was not decomposed in gas phase at the growth temperature. The C2H2 molecules were directly adsorbed on the surface of nickel catalyst and decomposed into carbon atoms which participated in the growth of carbon nanotubes.
