CNTs are the element that exists with predominant physio-chemical properties, which have been extensive researched today. These properties make carbon nanotubes (CNTs) valuable in a wide potential range of applications. The production of high-quality carbon nano-tubes (CNTs) via different precursors has been reported for many years. The arc discharge is a pristine technique to form CNTs with a high-quality yield. This technique has been elucidated for a long time, but the growth condition and mechanism of affected synthesized parameters and coorelation between synthesized parameters and nucleation of carbon have not been explored. In this chapter, the authors present the factors affecting temperature, geometry, grain size, electrodes, pressure, catalyst, arc current, power supply, and growth mechanism of CNTs. The variation in parameters has been elicited along with challenges and gaps.

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have been successfully prepared from starch by arc discharge technique. The SWNTs products were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The growth mechanism of the SWNTs was discussed in terms of the starch. The results demonstrate that starch is one of the suitable precursor for making SWNTs by arc discharge method.
