Abstract

Nickel nanoparticles and thin film on carbon fiber have been prepared through electroless deposition. Moreover, carbon nanotubes were grown on carbon fiber covered by nickel nanoparticles using thermal chemical vapor deposition. The effects of changes in the thickness of the nickel catalyst layer and the growth temperature of carbon nanotubes were studied systemically, and the results are discussed in the present work.
