Electrochemical Synthesis of Carbon Nano- and Micro-Tubes from Molten Salts

Abstract

This report results from a contract tasking University of Miskolc as follows: The objective of the research project is to produce carbon nanotubes using molten salt electrolysis. A series of experiments will be performed to determine the relationship between production conditions and morphology of carbon tubes. Potential, current density, duration, and electrolysis mode will be varied in different experiments. The experiments will be performed in a sealed high temperature cell, under argon atmosphere. The resulting carbonaceous material will be characterized using mainly scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM).
