Abstract
The production and industrial applications of carbon nanotubes (CNT) are recently the main concern of research in nanotechnology. CNT exhibit unique properties which have valuable commercial applications ranging from electronics to chemical processes. The main goal of the present paper is to develop the complete design of fully automatic system for producing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by using deionized water and extra pure graphite multiple electrodes (99.9% pure). The advantage of the designed system is the increase yield of Carbon Nanotubes CNTs within the experimental limitations, through the increase of the number of cathodes and anodes and by using automatic feeding system for the electrodes, considering techniques at lower costs. The results of these experiments were examined by scanning electron microscope (HRSEM) and transmission electron microscope (HRTEM). The results show that the produced CNTs are multi-wall carbon nanotubes with average diameter of 25nm.
