XRD patterns show that the membrane consists of MFI type zeolite crystals. The investigation with SEM indicats that the membrane is about 50 μm thick, and covered with well intergrowth MFI zeolite crystals of about 10 μm in size. The EDX analysis confirms that the membrane is composed of silica in the absence of Al, indicating high silica MFI(Silicalite 1) zeolite grown on the support. The ratio of pure gas permeation is 296 for H 2/ iso butane and 13.7 for n / iso butane at room temperature respectively, confirming that the membrane synthesized on the support of cordierite is high quality without pinhole.展开更多

Graphene films grown by plasma process are generally highly defective which in turns degrade the quality of the films. Here, using a green precursor, camphor we demonstrate a simple and economical method to get high-quality graphene film on copper substrate by micro wave surface-wave plasma CVD at relatively low temperature 550℃. Graphene film grown using camphor shows superior quality than that of the film grown using methane. Results revealed that camphor precursor is a good alternative to hydrocarbon precursors for graphene research.展开更多

Different spectroscopic techniques, such as Raman, photoluminescence emission （PLE）, and ultra violet-visible-near infrared （UV-vis-NIR） absorption spectroscopy were used to evaluate file diameter and quality of the SWNTs grown over the Ni catalyst at different temperatures. The analysis revealed that high quality SWNTs with a very narrow diameter distribution were obtained at a growth temperature of 500 ℃. In the PLE and absorption spectra, differences were observed between the SWNTs grown oil Ni and those grown on cobalt （Co）. This result expands the potential of growing a specific （n, m） tube species with relatively high abundance by tuning the catalyst composition. Furthermore, the prerequisites for the low temperature growth of SWNTs over a monometallic transition metal catalyst have been elucidated.展开更多
