Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were synthesized from CO2 dissolved in molten salts using the novel electrolytic method developed by the authors. The electrolysis were carried out under current and potential controls. To establish the actual current and potential ranges, the electroreduction of carbon dioxide dissolved in the halide melts under an excess pressure up to 15 bar was studied by cyclic voltammetry on glassy-carbon (GC) electrode at a temperature of 550 degrees C. The electrochemical-chemical-electrochemical mechanism Of CO2 electroreduction was offered for explanation of the obtained results. The structure, morphology, and electronic properties of the CNTs obtained were studied using SEM, TEM, X-ray and electron diffraction analysis, Raman and ESR spectroscopy. It was found that the majority of the CNTs are multi-walled (MWCNTs), have curved form, and most often agglomerate into bundles. Almost all CNTs are filled partly with electrolyte salt. Except MWCNTs the cathode product contains carbon nanofibers, nanographite, and amorphous carbon. The dependences of CNT's yield, their diameter, and structure peculiarities against the electrolysis regimes were established. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
