Abstract

In this study, a simple Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) process we call Horizontal Vapor Phase Growth (HVPG) Method was used to grow carbon nanomaterial from activated carbon powder (charcoal). Scanning Electron Microscopy revealed that the carbon nanomaterial grew under high vacuum conditions (≈10-6 Torr) with a growth temperature of 1200°C for 6 hours. Energy Dispersive X-ray revealed the elemental composition of the nanomaterial as Carbon (35.3%); Oxygen (61.69%), with a minimal trace of Calcium (3.01%) suggesting a nominal contaminant has occurred during the synthesis process. The as-grown product has a width of 50 nm and length of 50 μm.
