Chemical catalytic vapor deposition (CCVD) synthesis of carbon nanotubes by decomposition of ethylene on metal (Ni, Co, Fe) nanoparticles
A simple method for producing unsupported nickel catalyst that can be used to synthesize multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNT) has been developed. The yield of purified MWNTs is about 1.8 g(MWNT)/(g(cat)xh).
