The effect of nitrogen concentration in carbon nanofibers (CNFs) on the structural and electrical properties of the carbon material was studied. CNFs with nitrogen concentration varied from 0 to 8.2 wt.% (N-CNFs) with "herringbone" structure were prepared by decomposition of ethylene and ethylene mixture with ammonia over 65Ni-25Cu-10Al(2)O(3) (wt.%) catalyst at 823 K. Detailed investigation of the CNFs and N-CNFs by XPS, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy showed that the nitrogen introduction in carbon material distorts the graphite-like lattice and increases the structure defectiveness. Both effects become more significant as the nitrogen concentration in N-CNFs grows.The electrical conductivity of N-CNFs with different nitrogen concentrations is caused by the competition of the nanofiber graphite-like structure disordering after introduction of nitrogen atoms and doping of an additional electron into the delocalized pi-system of the graphite-like material. As a result, the maximum electrical conductivity among the samples studied was observed at nitrogen concentration in N-CNFs equal to 3.1 wt.% (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
