Abstract
⺠Synthesis of carbon nanotubes on various substrates by thermal chemical vapor deposition. ⺠C2H2 is used as the carbon feedstock and the metallic underlayers such as AlCu, Cu, Ag, Ta, and NiV are used. ⺠A crucial component is insertion (or inclusion) of an Al layer between the metal and the catalyst. ⺠Types of CNTs could be dependent on the diameter of AlxOy nanoparticles. ⺠In situ mass spectrometry reveals that CO2 and H2O could be correlated to the formation of longer CNTs.
