High crystallinity single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) can be synthesized by arc discharge evaporation of Fe-doped carbon electrode in hydrogen mixed gas, but the purity of as-grown SWNTs is strongly affected by the kinds of Fe-doped carbon electrode. Various carbon materials (artificial graphite powder, carbon black, calcined coke, etc.) have been tried to prepare Fe-doped carbon electrodes. The calcined coke, a kind of graphitizing carbon, is suitable for preparing high-quality Fe-doped carbon electrode. Moreover, the heat-treatment of Fe-doped carbon electrode in vacuum at the temperature of 1600 °C also plays an important role. At present, the best carbon electrode containing 1 at.% Fe catalyst is capable of continuously generating SWNTs at a production rate of 8 mg/min, which can be easily purified to obtain high purity SWNTs.
