The Efficient Production on single- and Multi- Wall Carbon Nanotubes

Multi- and single-wall carbon nanotubes are promising new carbon materials in nano-electronics, field-emitters, CRT-displays, hydrogen storage materials, biomedical tracers and so forth. The present talk will deal with a high-yield synthesis on quasi-aligned multi-wall carbon nanotubes via a chemical vapor deposition technique. I will also talk about a possible growth mechanism on single-wall carbon nanotubes based on newly obtained experimental results.
