Abstract

This study focuses on the synthesis of carbon nanotubes from Iraqi natural gas via a modified flame fragments deposition method in presence and absence of the catalyst. Four types of catalysts were used for the growth of carbon nanotubes. These types are iron doped on magnesium oxide (Fe/MgO), iron-cobalt doped on calcium carbonate (Fe-Co/CaCO3) and iron(III) oxide. All these four types were prepared in one batch by a home made instrument.The implemented technique ensures the same experimental conditions such as type of carbon source, type of carrier gas, flow rate of gases, growth temperature and synthesis time of growth for all synthesized samples. Various experimental techniques viz., X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis were used for characterization of the synthesized carbon nanotubes.
