Physicochemical Properties of Carbon Nanotubes (CNT’s) Synthesized at Low Temperature using Simple Hydrothermal Method

Abstract

Carbon nanotubes (CNT’s) was successfully synthesis at low temperature using hydrothermal method. The reaction was carried out at 200°C for 24 hours using ferrocene and sulfur as carbon sources and catalyst, respectively which were mixed with 100 ml NaOH solutions (10 M). After hydrothermal treatment the product obtained was washed with ethanol and water until the washing solution is pH7. The solution was filtered and dried at 60°C for 24 hours to produce the CNT’s.
