Abstract

Hot-wire chemical vapor deposition (HWCVD) has been employed for the continuous gas-phase generation of both carbon multi-wall and single-wall nanotube (MWNT and SWNT) materials. Graphitic MWNTs were produced at a very high density at a synthesis temperature of ∼600 °C. SWNTs were deposited at a much lower density on a glass substrate held at 450 °C. SWNTs are typically observed in large bundles that are stabilized by tube-tube van der Waals' interactions. However, transmission electron microscopy analyses revealed only the presence of isolated SWNTs in these HWCVD-generated materials.
