Exfoliated Molybdenum Disulfide as a Platform for Carbon Nanotube Growth-Properties and Characterization.

ABSTRACT: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been of great interest because of their unique electrical, structural, and mechanical properties. Many methods for obtaining CNTs are known. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) has been recognized as the most popular and practical synthetic method for obtaining CNTs, with high purity, high yield, and low cost. Catalyst components are usually transient metals such as Fe, Co, and Ni, and hydrocarbons are used as a feedstock for the CNT synthesis. The metal particles are supported on the inorganic porous materials, such as alumina (Al₂O₃), silica (SiO₂), magnesia (MgO), zeolite, and mesoporous silica. In this work, we propose a new platform for the deposition of metal nanoparticles and the growth of CTs. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂
