Abstract

A summary of our recent work related to the growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) inside the pores of anodized alumina oxide (AAO) films is presented. The surface topography of the AAO film was studied by atomic force microscopy, while the internal pore structure of the AOO templates was concluded from the shape of the CNTs obtained. The effect of the different experimental approaches and of the anodization voltage value on the features of the pores and CNTs is also discussed, as well as the catalytic effect in the acetylene pyrolysis of the Co particles and internal alumina walls. The CNTs wall structure observed by HRTEM and its implication on some physico-chemical properties of the CNTs are also presented.
