- Abstract
- Formation of aerosol nanoparticles as well as carbon nanotubes and nanofilaments is studied during co-pyrolysis of iron pentacarbonyl and propane with argon as a carrier gas in a flow reactor. Gaseous intermediates from propane thermal decomposition (CH4, C2H6 and C3H4 and Fe(CO)5 conversion are monitored by gas chromatography and IR-spectroscopy, respectively. The aerosol morphology is studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high resolution TEM. The aerosol particle concentration and size distribution are measured by an automated diffusion battery. The crystal phase composition of particles is studied by x-ray diffractometry. The decomposition of the Fe(CO)5 + Ar mixture resulted in an iron aggregate formation composed of fine primary particles. In the case of lower pyrolysis temperatures, about 450 K, the primary particle mean diameter is about 10 nm, and consequently, the majority of the primary particles are superparamagnetic, thus forming compact aggregates. At intermediate pyrolysis temperatures in the range 8001040 K the primary particle diameter is about 2030 nm, and most of the particles are ferromagnetic in nature. The coagulation of these particles results in a chain-like aggregate formation. Finally, at temperatures higher than the Curie point (1043 K) the ferromagnetic properties vanish and the formation of compact aggregates is observed again. The co-pyrolysis of Fe(CO)5 and C3H8 mixed with Ar carrier gas resulted in aerosol aggregate structures dramatically different from those formed by iron pentacarbonyl pyrolysis. In particular, in the temperature range 10701280 K, we observed Fe3C particles connected by long carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The aggregate morphology is described in terms of a fractal-like dimension Df, which is
determined from TEM images on the basis of a scaling power law linking the aggregate mass (M) and radius (R), M80 the fractal aggregate
dimension is higher for a larger ratio of [C3H8]0/[Fe(CO)5]0, which is explained by the larger thickness of growing nanotubes obtained for a relatively large propane concentration. The aggregate formation mechanism includes consecutive stages of iron aggregate formation due to Fe(CO)5 decomposition, carbon deposition on iron particles from C3H8 pyrolysis intermediates, carbon dissolution in iron particles, nanotube nucleation at the carbon concentration of about 60 at.% in FeC solution and disruption of the FeC aggregates into small pieces by the growing nanotubes.
