Effect of nickel catalyst layer thickness and grain size prepared by electroplating method to the growth of carbon nanostructures by chemical vapour deposition

A simple method of growing carbon nanostructures (CNS), a mixture of carbon nanotube (CNT) and carbon nanofiber (CNF), directly on a nickel catalyst layer electroplated on the copper substrate at low reaction temperature and atmospheric pressure via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) was investigated...
