Abstract

This work is devoted to microwave heating of graphite for studying the processing of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by graphite vaporization. We have applied heating by microwaves (MW) (power 800W, frequency 2.45 GHz) in air at 20–90 min. The oven temperature was approximately 1200°C. The condensed material was collected on a fused silica target. After deposition, the morphology of carbon nanotubes was studied by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The samples were found to contain nanotubes, nanoparticles and fibers (at 1.30–2.80 micrometers to 6–11 micrometers) which appeared to be highly graphitized. It was observed that multi-walled nanotubes (MWNT's) were produced by this method.
