Nickel Formate Route to the Growth of Carbon Nanotubes

Nickel formate serves as an ideal catalyst precursor for surface-bound thermal and plasma-enhanced CVD growth of carbon nanotubes. As the method of deposition of the Ni catalyst is solution-based, it benefits from a low-cost, large-area growth, ease of operation and suitability for coating substrate...

Description
Summary:Nickel formate serves as an ideal catalyst precursor for surface-bound thermal and plasma-enhanced CVD growth of carbon nanotubes. As the method of deposition of the Ni catalyst is solution-based, it benefits from a low-cost, large-area growth, ease of operation and suitability for coating substrates with complex shapes and structures.
