摘要
The valence states of iron in iron catalysts,hydrogen reduced catalysts,and catalytically grown carbon nanotubes are determined by Mössbauer spectra,respectively.The results show that the iron exists as Fe,FeO,andα-Fe_(2)O_(3) in hydrogen reduced catalysts,whereas it exists as Fe-C alloy,FeO,and α-Fe_(2)O_(3) in the catalysts encapsulated in carbon nanotube.It is postulated that Fe in hydrogen reduced catalysts plays the main role in the formation of catalytically grown carbon nanotube.
