Summary:Title screen
In this paper, the possibility of synthesizing multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by DC arc discharge plasma in ambient air is shown. The synthesis takes place in a graphite cathode with a crucible shape using tungsten powder as a catalyst. In the non-vacuum synthesis method the CO atmosphere is generated in the reaction zone during the arcing, preventing the products of the synthesis from oxidation. According to the X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), the synthesized product includes more than 85 vol % of carbon crystalline phases with a graphite-like structure, a cubic tungsten phase, and two phases of tungsten carbide WC and W2C. The transmission electron microscopy data shows that the product of the synthesis contains CNTs with a relatively large number of walls (up to ~50 pcs) (MWCNTs) with a diameter of up to ~100 nm and a length of up to ~1.5 µm. It was found that crystalline objects corresponding in structure to WC tungsten carbide are identified inside CNTs.
