Alignment or patterning of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is particularly important for fabricating functional devices such as field emitters, nanophotonics, nanoelectronics, and ultrahydrophobic materials. This work reports on the synthesis of 2D quasi-aligned carbon nanotube bundles by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) method using a series of catalysts and a study of their performance in a nutshell.

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were synthesized by catalytic chemical vapor deposition method using Fe/Co catalyst over CaCO3 support and acetylene gas as a carbon precursor in the temperature range of 650–800°C, and were modified with Preyssler anion nanostructures via impregnation method. The existence of nanoheteropolyacid [NaP5W30O110]14- inside the MWCNTs was confirmed by infrared spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy.
