Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have been synthesized in high yield by the dc arc discharge technique under heat-pretreatment of the graphite rod conditions. Before executing arc discharge, the graphite rods containing the catalysts were heat treated at 600, 700, 800 and 900 °C for 1-3 h, respectively. Effects of heat-pretreatment of the graphite rod on the quality of SWCNTs by arc discharge were investigated. The heat-treatment temperature and time were found to be crucial for a high yield of high-purity SWCNTs. Optimum parameter was found to be at the heat-treatment temperature of 800 °C for 2 h. The SWCNTs synthesized under the optimum condition have better field-emission characteristics. The turn-on field needed to produce a current density of 10 μA/cm2 is found to be 1.9 V/μm and the threshold field where current density reaches 10 mA/cm2 is 3.9 V/μm.
