Nitrogen-containing carbon nanotubes are synthesized using a gas-phase reaction. The synthesis of nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes from 100 to 500 Å in diameter is accomplished through pyrolysis of acetonitrile (CH3CN) at a temperature of 800°C. Cobalt and nickel metallic particles formed upon thermal decomposition of a mixture of maleate salts are used as catalysts. The materials synthesized are investigated by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Analysis of the x-ray photoelectron spectra demonstrates that the content of nitrogen atoms in three nonequivalent charge states is approximately equal to 3%. A comparison of the CKα x-ray fluorescence spectrum of the carbon nanotubes synthesized through electric-arc evaporation of graphite and the x-ray fluorescence spectrum of the nitrogen-containing carbon nanotubes prepared by catalytic decomposition of acetonitrile indicates that, in the latter case, the spectrum contains a certain contribution from the sp3 states of carbon atoms. The temperature dependences of the electrical conductivity for different types of multi-walled carbon nanotubes are compared. The difference observed in the temperature dependences of the electrical conductivity is associated with the presence of additional scattering centers in nitrogen-containing carbon nanotubes.
