Abstract

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were synthesized from Iraqis natural gas using flame under carbon monoxide atmosphere. The study focuses on abilities to synthesis and characterization of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) using simple, easy, low cost by natural material. The reactor has been designed for synthesis of carbon nanotubes CNTs from natural gas which acted as a source of carbon in addition to supplying thermal energy instead of electrical energy. Crystallographic and morphological of CNTs have been characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscope and thermal gravimetric analysis. The analysis refers to synthesized MWNTs with purity 57.80 % and outer diameter 6.6-17.9 nm, inner diameter 3.2-6.3 nm which equal to 3-9 of graphene layers while the length of tubes is 0.8 to 2 μm.
