A novel graphene/CNTs hybrid structure was synthesized using a two-step CVD system. Increasing Ni catalyst film thickness resulted in denser growth of CNTs on MLG, while increasing H-2 gas flow rate led to the formation of CNTs with smaller diameters and longer lengths. This hybrid structure shows potential applications in electronic, optoelectronic, and energy storage fields.
We reported a combination of the unique properties of (2D) graphene and (1D) carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by synthesizing a novel graphene/CNTs hybrid structure. Graphene and CNTs were synthesized by a two-step chemical vapor deposition (CVD) system. In the first step, multilayer graphene (MLG) was grown on nickel substrates by changing the methane gas flow rate and growth time. In the second step, the CNTs were then grown on the synthesized MLG surface previously. Both the Ni catalyst film thickness and H-2 gas flow rate were changed to investigate their effects on the growth densities and average diameters of the hybrid structures. Structural and morphological analysis of both MLG and MLG/CNT hybrid structures were determined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Raman analysis. As the Ni catalyst film thickness was increased, CNTs grew more densely on the MLG. It was observed that CNTs with smaller diameters and longer lengths formed with increasing H-2 gas flow rate. This hybrid structure is useful in electronic, optoelectronic, and energy storage applications.
