Effect of the substrate material on the structure of carbon nanomaterials upon synthesis in a plasma jet reactor

Resumo

Bulk carbon nanomaterials are synthesized using low-temperature plasma generated by a direct current plasma torch upon the pyrolysis of soot in the presence of catalysts and hydrocarbon gases. Data on the influence of the synthesis parameters and substrate material on the phase composition and morphology of the nanostructures are obtained and discussed using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis.
