An aqueous ferric nitrate nonahydrate (Fe(NO3)3.9H2O) and magnesium oxide (MgO) were mixed and deposited on silicon nanowires (SiNWs), the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) formed by the concentration of Fe3O4/MgO catalysts with the mole ratio set at 0.15:9.85 and 600°C had diameter between 15.23 to 90nm with high-density distribution of CNT while those with the mole ratio set at 0.45:9.55 and 730°C had diameter of 100 to 230nm. The UV/Vis/NIR and FT-IR spectroscopes clearly confirmed the presence of the silicon-CNTs hybrid structure. UV/Vis/NIR, FT-IR spectra and FESEM images confirmed the silicon-CNT structure exists with diameters ranging between 15-230nm. Thus, the study demonstrated cost effective method of silicon-CNT composite nanowire formation via Iron-oxide Catalyze synthesis.
将硝酸铁九水合物(Fe(NO₃)₃·9H₂O)水溶液与氧化镁(MgO)混合并沉积在硅纳米线(SiNWs)上,通过将Fe₃O₄/MgO催化剂的摩尔比设定为0.15:9.85并在600°C下制备的碳纳米管(CNT),其直径在15.23至90nm之间,且碳纳米管具有高密度分布,而那些摩尔比设定为0.45:9.55并在730°C下制备的碳纳米管直径为100至230nm。紫外/可见/近红外光谱仪和傅里叶变换红外光谱仪清楚地证实了硅-碳纳米管混合结构的存在。紫外/可见/近红外光谱、傅里叶变换红外光谱和场发射扫描电子显微镜图像证实了直径在15 - 230nm之间的硅-碳纳米管结构的存在。因此,该研究展示了一种通过氧化铁催化合成形成硅-碳纳米管复合纳米线的经济有效方法。
