Abstract

The effect of hydrogen and oxygen plasma treatments on the structural properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been systematically investigated. The plasma treatment resulted in the removal of the amorphous carbon particles. As the plasma treatment time was longer, the CNT diameter was reduced, regardless of gas types. Especially, for the sample treated in hydrogen plasma, the catalyst metal on the tip of CNTs was eliminated.
