摘要

In this paper, copper nanorod and nanoparticles have been synthesized by a fast microwave-assisted method. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. The result indicated that the ethylenediamine played a crucial role in the formation of copper microstructures. With the as-prepared nanoparticles as catalyst, carbon nanofibers (CNFs) were synthesized by catalytic polymerization of acetylene at a lower temperature. The effects of the catalyst particle sizes on the morphologies of the CNFs were studied.
