Abstract

The article presents the results of experiments on the synthesis of carbon nanofibers by thermal chemical vapor deposition using copper nanopowders obtained by electric explosion of wire as catalysts. Stable growth of carbon nanofibers was carried out at temperatures significantly lower than normally used. The process parameters that are optimal for low-temperature growth of carbon nanofibers have been identified during the performed experiments. The synthesized samples have different diameters and morphology (from spiral to direct). Copper clusters are both at the ends and inside the fibers. The results of IR spectroscopy indicate that the structure of the obtained carbon nanofibers is polymeric. X-ray analysis revealed the presence of a halo on the diffraction patterns at small values of the angle 2?, which proves that the grown structures have an amorphous nature. There are no groups that are responsible for long-range order in all Raman spectra. Studies by transmission electron microscopy showed that nanostructures do not have an internal channel and nanofibers are solid.
