| Summary: | Carbon nanoparticles (CNP) were synthesized in arc plasma discharge using a simple, low-cost and toxic-free precursor gas. The structural and electrical characteristics were examined. SEM image showed existence of a high density and uniform nanostructures within the cylindrical bulk CNP tube. The tube diameter and its length was 28.5 μm and 316.7 μm, respectively. The average diameter of the nanoparticles grown in the tube was 600 nm. The electrical characteristics revealed low resistance with R = 7.23 kΩ with Cu electrodes. In addition, the device exhibited a high conductivity of 3.6 x 107 Scm-1. These results indicate the potential of CNP material for power device applications. |
