The carbon nanowall (CNW) is a carbon-based nanomaterials and it was constructed with vertical structure graphenes and it has the highest surface density among carbon-based nanostructures. In this study, we have checked the growth properties of CNW according to the substrate angle. Microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) system was used to grow CNW on Si substrate with methane ($CH_4$) and hydrogen ($H_2$) gases. And, we have changed the substrate angle from $0^{\circ}$ to $90^{\circ}$ in steps of $30^{\circ}$. The planar and vertical conditions of the grown CNWs according to the substrate angle were characterized by a field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). In case of the growth angle increases, our experimental results showed that the length of the CNW was shortened and the content of carbon component was decreased.

Graphite electrodes are used for secondary batteries, fuel cells, and super capacitors. Research is underway to increased the reaction area of graphite electrodes used carbon nanotube (CNT) and porous carbon. CNT is limited to device utilization in order to used a metal catalyst by lack of surface area to improve. In contrast carbon nanowall (CNW) is chemically very stable. So this paper, microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) system was used to grow carbon nanowall (CNW) on Si substrate with methane ($CH_4$) and hydrogen ($H_2$) gases. To find the growth properties of CNW according to the reaction gas ratio, we have changed the methane to hydrogen gas ratios (4:1, 2:1, 1:2, and 1:4). The vertical and surficial conditions of the grown CNW according to the gas ratios were characterized by a field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and Raman spectroscopy measurements showed structure variations.

The microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) system was used to grow a carbon nanowall (CNW) on a silicon (Si) substrate with hydrogen (H₂) and methane (CH₄) gases. To find the growth mechanism of CNW, we increased the growth time of CNW from 5 to 30 min. The vertical and surficial conditions of the grown CNWs according to growth time were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) measurements showed that the CNWs consisted solely of carbon.

Graphite electrodes are used for secondary batteries, fuel cells, and super capacitors. Research is underway to increase the reaction area of graphite electrodes. In this study, we have investigated the growth properties of carbon nanowall (CNW) according to the ingredient of gas. Microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (MPECVD) system was used to grow CNW on Si substrate with a variety of the reaction gas. The planar and vertical growth conditions of the grown CNWs according to the ingredient of the gas were characterized by a field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The electrical characteristics of CNWs were analyzed using a 4-point probe.

그래핀을 수직으로 성장한 형태인 탄소나노월(Carbon nanowall; CNW)은 탄소를 바탕으로 하는 다른 나노물질에 비해 표면적이 상당히 넓은 물질로 전극에 활용하여 소자 성능향상을 기대 할 수 있다. 또한 탄소를 기반으로 하는 나노 구조물중에서 가장 높은 표면밀도를 가진다. CNW를 차세대 염료감응형 태양전지(Dye sensitised solar cells; DSSC)의 상대전극으로 사용한다면 기존대비 광변환 효율을 향상시킬 수 있어 새로운 상대전극으로 활용 가능하다. 또한 CNW는 다른 촉매 없이 직접성장이 가능함으로 불순물 제거공정이 필요하지 않고, 공정시간이 짧아 대량생산에 용의하다. 본 연구에서는 마이크로웨이브 PECVD 장비를 사용하고 메탄(CH4)을 반응가스로 사용하여 CNW 하부전극을 제조하였다. CNW 하부전극의 광 변환효율을 관찰하기위해서 합성시간을 변화를 주었다. 제조된 DSSC의 광 변환 효율을 측정하기 위해 Solar simulator 장비를 사용하여 제작된 cells의 효율을 측정하였다.
