In the study, we wants to probe into the effect of structure and composition of catalyst on the growth of CNT, so we prepared Ni-P films and NiO-YSZ to grow CNT by MPCVD. In order to apply to glass substrate or PI substrate, so the process temperature must be reduced under 450 ℃. In addition, we explored the different process conditions of MPCVD impact on the diameter, length and numbers of CNT and CNF. The result shows, we can grow CNT and CNF on NiO-YSZ by MPCVD when the mole percentage of NiO is in the range of 5~35 %, but the content of NiO doesn’t apparently influence the diameter, density and numbers of CNT as well as CNF. The inner diameter of NiO-YSZ-derived CNT is about 5~10 nm and the outside diameter decided by the number of carbon layer is about 10~30 nm. When the NiO content is 15 mol% in NiO-YSZ and the growth power is 600 W for 12 mins, the maximum percentage of CNT is obtained and the value is 64 %. As the content of NiO is 8mol % and the growth power is 600 W for 12mins, the percentage of CNF is 82 %. The crystallization of the Ni-P is influenced by heat treatment condition and thickness. After heat treatment(500 ℃ for 3hr in air), the Ni-P film transform to NiO when its thickness is below 40 nm, and Ni-P film transform to NiO and Ni2P when its thickness is over 40 nm. As the NiO film is used as catalyst, the percentage of CNT is 46 %. In contrast, the NiO-Ni2P film is used, the percentage of CNT is 39 %. According to TEM observation, it is argued that the CNT growth mechanisms of Ni-P films are of the tip-root growth. Furthermore, it is observed that, the carbon layers structure of NiO-YSZ-derived CNT are relatively perfect and the inner diameter of CNT are similar. However, there exist a little spiral CNF for Ni-P film. Because PI is not able to resist the high temperature itself and it is not good adhesion with the Ni-P films, so we can not grow CNT on PI.
