Without an additional growth precursor, Fc decomposes via the spontaneous cleavage of Fe-C and C-H bonds, thereby enabling Fe atoms to cluster and form the floating catalyst. On the basis of these simulations, we detail the two competing chemical pathways present during the initial stages of FCCVD: Fe catalyst nanoparticle growth and carbon chain growth. The latter is accelerated in the presence of the additional growth precursors, with the identity of the precursor determining the nature of the balance between these competing pathways.]]> Wed 28 Jul 2021 15:18:57 AEST ]]> Hybrid low-dimensional carbon allotropes formed in gas phase https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39876 Wed 06 Jul 2022 08:57:24 AEST ]]> Scalable growth of single-walled carbon nanotubes with a highly uniform structure https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37567 Thu 18 Feb 2021 16:15:23 AEDT ]]>
