Original Abstract

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been under scientific investigation more than fifteen years since their unique properties predestine them for numerous potential applications. The field of nanotechnology and nanoscience push their investigation forward to produce CNTs with suitable parameters for future applications. It is evident that new approaches of their synthesis need to be developed and optimized. In this chapter, brief history, types, structure and especially the different synthesis methods for CNTs preparation are reviewed. The attention is mainly aimed on various types of chemical vapor depositions as CVD methods for uniform vertically aligned CNT synthesis, liquid pyrolysis and solid state pyrolysis.

Keywords

CNT, carbon nanotubes, synthesis, growth, pyrolysis, chemical vapor deposition, CVD
