Resumen:
The effect of tungsten (W) on the growth of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) using the chemical
vapour deposition (CVD) process over ametal FeW catalyst incorporated into a silica matrix is reported.
A W molar content in Fe/SiO2 up to 10% was studied. The incorporation of only 2% of W substantially
modifies the crystalline phases and the crystalline degree of the catalyst during the MWNTs synthesis.
This fact seems to have a strong influence on the type and yield of the carbonaceous species obtained
by the CVD of acetylene, at 600 ◦C and 180 Torr, over each catalyst. Tungsten interacts with iron within
the matrix, diminishing the catalytic activity of the metal nanoparticles, and both, carbon nanotubes and
carbon nanofibers, are obtained when tungsten is present. The results obtained support the hypothesis
of a base growth model for carbon nanotubes indicating a strong interaction between silica matrix and
Fe/W nanoparticles, independently of the content ofW.
