  • Basic Equipment Information
  • Operating Principle
Main Application

The system is a hot-wall tube chemical vapor deposition (CVD) system for the growth of carbon nanomaterials, including carbon nanotubes and graphene films, on substrates up to 4 inches in diameter. It accommodates a wide variety of sample geometries, including flat substrates, rolled materials, and three-dimensional porous structures. Both low-pressure CVD (LPCVD) and atmospheric-pressure CVD (APCVD) processes are supported.

At elevated temperatures, carbon precursor gases (such as methane) thermally decompose to produce carbon atoms. These carbon atoms nucleate and self-assemble on metal catalyst surfaces (such as Fe, Ni, or Cu), forming carbon nanotubes through catalyst-particle-assisted growth or graphene through surface-catalyzed deposition.
