Flame synthesis of carbon nanotubes using a double-faced wall stagnation flow burner

The potential of using a double-faced wall stagnation flow (DWSF) burner in mass production of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) has been evaluated. Due to minimized heat losses across a catalyst plate and redistributed temperature profiles on the plate surface, the DWSF burner can produce abundant and uniform MWCNTs, the quality and yield of synthesized MWCNTs being controlled by varying flame stretch rates.
