The substrate pre-treatment plays a key role in obtaining hollow-cored carbon nanotubes(CNTs)and solid- cored carbon nanofibers(CNFs)from flames.This paper introduces a simply and high-efficient process by coating a NiSO_4 or FeSO_4 layer on the substrate as catalyst precursors.Comparing with the regular pre- treatment methods,the present experiments showed that the coating pre-treatment provided the following advantages:1)greatly shortening the synthesis time;2)available variant substrates and carbon sources;3) narrowing the diameters distribution.The sulfate is considered to be a crucial factor at the growth of CNTs and CNFs,because it increases the surface energy of catalyst particles and the surface specificity of sulfurs action in metallic grains.This novel process provides a possibility for high quality and mass production of CNTs and CNFs from flames.
