摘要: In this study, multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were modified with nitric acid chemically and by dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma in an oxygen-based atmosphere. Used (CNTs) prepared chemical vapour deposition (CVD) floating catalyst method. For removing amorphous metal catalyst, MWNTs exposed to dry air washed hydrochloric acid. Heating purified CNTs under helium atmosphere caused elimination of acidic functional groups. Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) shows formation oxygen containing groups such as C=O COOH. Brunauer, Emmett, Teller (BET) analysis revealed that functionalization causes generation defects on the sidewalls opening ends CNTs. Results temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) gas chromatography(GC) indicate treatment create more than treatment. Keywords—Carbon (CNTs), treatment, functionalization, plasma.
