Morphology and particle size analysis on Al/Ni binary catalyst for carbon nanotube growth through plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) has attracted much attention in recent years due to its unique properties and vast potential in nanotechnology. Over the years, extensive research has been conducted to develop a reliable synthesis methodology to produce CNT. Among many methods for CNT growth, transition metal based catalyst via plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) is one of the widely adaptable methods for large scale CNT growth.
