Abstract.

CNx nanotubes have been prepared by acetonitrile decomposition over Ni, Co and Ni/Co catalysts. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy study on the samples revealed a change of nitrogen concentration and shape of N 1s line with variation of the catalyst used. Quantum-chemical calculations on tube fragments showed the energy of N 1s level depends on the atomic structure of carbon tube and kind of incorporated nitrogen. The largest binding energies were found to be characteristic of three-coordinated nitrogen atoms doping the zigzag and chiral carbon nanotubes.
