| Abstract | ||
| An electrochemical deposition technique has been employed to produce carbon nanotubes. The electrochemical deposition cell consists of graphite electrode as an anode, aluminum electrode as a cathode and an aqueous solution of organic material as an electrolyte. Carbon nanotube were grown on aluminum electrode using acetonitrile (1% v/v) and water as electrolyte at an applied d.c. potential (24V), The aluminum electrode acts as a deposition surface (substrate) to collect carbon nanotubes and as a source of aqueous alumina [aluminum oxide hydroxide (AlOHO)] particles suspend in the electrolyte which also deposit carbon nanotubes. The suspension and aluminum substrate were characterized by Optical Microscope, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Fourier Transform Infra Red spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-Ray diffraction analysis, all these techniques show the nanotube finger print and the nanotube shape of the deposited carbon. | ||
