Chemical Vapour Deposition Growth of Carbon Nanotube Forests: Kinetics, Morphology, Composition, and Their Mechanisms

This thesis analyzes the chemical vapour deposition (CVD) growth of vertically aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) forests in order to understand how CNT forests grow, why they stop growing, and how to control the properties of the synthesized CNTs. In situ kinetics data of the growth of CNT forests are g...
