Low-temperature synthesis of carbon nanotubes via floating catalyst chemical vapor deposition method

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are widely synthesized at high temperatures via floating catalyst chemical vapor deposition (FC-CVD) method. It is important to reduce the synthesis temperature of CNTs to allow better control of the reactor's conditions and to eliminate the formation of carbon by-produ...
