Double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) have been synthesized by a floating catalytic chemical vapor deposition method (FC-CVD) in diameter-varied reactor with xylene as carbon sources, ferrocene as catalyst precursor, and sulfur as additive. The as-grown products were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and Raman spectrometer. The results show that DWCNTs with a high graphite degree is centimeter-scale in length, and the inner diameter varies in the range of 1.5-1.7 nm. The effect of reactor diameter on the structure and morphology of the products was also investigated and compared. It is believed that the diameter-varied reactor may become a feasible route to the mass and continuous production of DWCNTs.

Here we described the synthesis of highly pure double walled carbon nanotube (DWNT) through a right combination of a catalytic chemical vapor deposition method and the two-step purification and evaluated their stacking infidelity when compared to multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs). Easy fabrication of thin and flexible, but mechanically tough DWNT-buckypaper was due to the long and large-sized bundled DWNT (up to 50 nm), where DWNTs with diameter below 2 nm were packed in hexagonal array. Through detailed transmission electron microscope, X-ray and Raman studies, we confirmed that the intershell spacing of our DWNT sample was ca. 0.36 nm, which was believed to strongly affect negative and small magnetoresistance absolute value of −0.09 at 77 K and 1 T.
