摘要：
Adding small fractions of Mo to Fe nanoparticles (NPs) can reduce the melting point of FeMo NPs to lower than that of Fe NPs to prolong the lifetime of the alloy catalyst which in turn promotes the quality of catalytically synthesized single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). In this study, we reveal the mechanism of the above-mentioned abnormal melting behavior by employing molecular dynamics simulations. Our results indicate that the bond length between the Fe atoms and the number of bonds between the Mo atoms play an important role in reducing the melting point of the FeMo NPs. This study provides useful insight into the evolution mechanism of the alloy catalyst for the growth of SWCNTs.
