Nitrogen Doping of Carbon Nanotubes Synthesized in Flowing Acetylene and Ammonia

  • Published:
Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract—

A method has been demonstrated for doping carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with nitrogen during synthesis in an acetylene + ammonia atmosphere at different temperatures in the range 550–750°C, and conditions have been found for effective nitrogen doping of CNTs depending on synthesis temperature. The concentrations of various elements in the synthesized CNTs have been determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Raman measurements with the use of a Raman microscope have made it possible to follow variations in the relative intensities of the G and D bands as functions of nitrogen dopant concentration in the CNTs. We have detected strong Raman overtone combination satellites whose parameters depend on the structural perfection of the synthesized CNTs.
