Nitrogen doped carbon nanotubes (N-CNTs) were synthesized using acetonitrile/alcohol mixtures as the nitrogen, carbon and oxygen sources using the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. XPS analysis of the CNTs produced from an acetonitrile/ethanol mixture using different CVD temperatures (700-1000 degrees C), revealed that nitrogen incorporation in N-CNTs decreased with an increase in CVD temperature and that the type of nitrogen species incorporated also varied. Molecular nitrogen and a low content of pyridinic nitrogen was obtained in N-CNTs grown at 700 and 800 degrees C, while quaternary nitrogen was noted in all N-CNTs grown. Use of 20% acetonitrile/ROH (R = CH3, C2H5, C4H9, C5H11, C7H15 and C8H17) mixtures allowed the C/O ratio to be changed whilst the N content in the precursor mixture was kept constant. The N content in the N-CNTs grown at 850 degrees C increased with the alcohol chain length and also controlled the nitrogen species incorporated, an effect related to the oxygen content of the reactant mixtures.
