Carbon nanotube synthesis via the catalytic chemical vapor deposition of methane in the presence of iron, molybdenum, and iron–molybdenum alloy thin layer catalysts

In this study, we documented the catalytic chemical vapor deposition synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) using ferrocene and molybdenum hexacarbonyl as catalyst nanoparticle precursors and methane as a nontoxic and economical carbon source for the first time. Field emission scanning electron micros...
