- Abstract
We report on a 20–40 s process for growing aligned, uniformed, high purity multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) using an alcohol lamp burner. With an appropriate catalyst precursor concentration, MWNTs can be grown on a Co-coated 304 stainless steel mesh under incomplete combustion conditions at 680–700°C. The process provides a rapid, easy, economic and safe method for the formation of carbon nanotubes. We suggest that the proposed method be considered as an educational kit for college or high school level experiments.
