Abstract

Carbon coils could be synthesized using $C_2H_2/H_2$ as source gases and $SF_6$ as an incorporated additive gas under the thermal chemical vapor deposition system. A 304-type stainless steel was used as a substrate with nickel powders as the catalyst. The surface of the substrate was pretreated using a sand paper or a mechanical drill to enhance the production yield of the carbon coils. The characteristics of the deposited carbon nanomaterials on the substrates were investigated according to the surface state on the stainless steel substrate. The protrusion induced by the grooves on the substrate surface could enhance the formation of the carbon nanomaterials having the coils geometries. The cause for the enhancement of the carbon coils formation by the grooves was suggested and discussed with the surface energies for the interaction between as-growing carbon elements. Finally, we could obtain the massive production yield of the carbon coils by the surface pretreatment using SiC sand papers on the several tens grooved stainless steel substrate.
