Effect of Substrate Material on Structure of Carbon Nanomaterials Synthesized in the Plasma Jet Reactor
Bulk carbon nanomaterials were synthesized using low-temperature plasma generated by a DC plasma torch, during the pyrolysis of carbon black in the presence of catalysts or hydrocarbon gases. Products of synthesis were studied by electron microscopy, thermogravimetry and X-ray diffraction. Effect of synthesis parameters and the substrate material on the phase composition and morphology of the nanostructures is discussed.
