  41. Stepwise Process Adsorption Dehydrogenation Saturation Diffusion Nucleation Growth Mechanisms Proposed for Nanotube Growth

  42. Vapor carbon feed stock adsorbs unto liquid catalyst particle and dissolves. Dissolved carbon diffuses to a region of lower solubility resulting in super-saturation and precipitation of the solid product. Originally developed to explain the growth of carbon whiskers/filaments. Temperature, concentration or free energy gradient is implicated as the driving force responsible for diffusion. Wagner, R. S.; Ellis, W. C. Appl. Phys. Lett. 1964, 4, 89. Bolton, et al. J. Nanosci. Nanotechnol. 2006, 6, 1211. Vapor-Liquid-Solid (Carbon Filament) Mechanism

  43. Dai, et al. Chem. Phys. Lett.1996, 260, 471. Raty, et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 2005 95, 096103. Yarmulke Mechanism • Carbon-carbon bonds form on the surface (either before or as a result of super-saturation). • Diffusion of carbon to graphene coating can be an important rate limiting step. • Coating of more than a complete hemisphere results in poisoning of catalyst. • New layers can start beneath the original layer after/as it lifts off the surface resulting in MWNT.

  44. Hofmann, S. et al. Nano Lett.2007, 7, 602. Experimental Confirmation of a Yarmulke Mechanism Atomic-scale, video-rate environmental transmission microscopy has been used to monitor the nucleation and growth of single walled nanotubes.

  45. Size of catalyst particles is related to the diameter of the nanotubes formed. Catalyst nanoparticles are known to deform (elongate) during nanotube growth. Structural properties of select catalyst surfaces (Ni111, Co111, Fe1-10) exhibit appropriate symmetry and distances to overlap with graphene and allow thermally forbidden C2 addition reaction. Graphene is believed to stabilize the high energy nanoparticle surface. MWNT have been observed growing out of steps, which they stabilize. Hong, S.; et al. Jpn J. Appl. Phys. 2002, 41, 6142. Vinciguerra, V.; et al. Nanotechnol. 2003, 14, 655. Hofmann, S. et al. Nano Lett.2007, 7, 602 Role of the Catalyst Particle in Nanotube Formation

  46. Huang, S.; et al. Nano Lett.20044, 1025. Kong, J.; et al. Chem. Phys. Lett.1998, 292, 567. Tip vs. Base Growth Mechanisms Same initial reaction step: absorbtion, diffusion and precipitation of carbon species. Strength of interaction between catalyst particle and catalyst support determines whether particles remains on surface or is lifted with growing nanotube. Images of nanotubes show catalyst particles trapped at the ends of nanotubes in the case of tip growth, or nanotubes bound to catalysts on support in the case of base growth. Alternatively capped nanotube tops show base growth. A kite (tip) growth mechanism has been used to explain the growth of long (order of mm), well ordered SWNTs.

  47. Limiting Steps for Growth Rates Diffusion of reactive species either through the catalyst particle bulk or across its surface can play an important role in determining the rate of nanotube growth. In the case of carbon species which dissociate less readily the rate of carbon supply to the particle can act as the rate limiting step. The rate of growth must also take into account a force balance between the friction of the nanotube moving through the surrounding feedstock gas and the driving force for/from the reaction. Vinciguerra, V.; et al. Nanotechnol. 2003, 14, 655. Hofmann, S. et al. Nano Lett.2007, 7, 602. Hafner, J. H.; et al. Chem. Phys. Lett.1998, 296, 195.
