A simple thermal chemical vapor deposition (STCVD) growth technique of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) is present. Carbon nanotube film was synthesized on the Pt plate substrates by pyrolysis of ethyl alcohol as carbon source at lower reaction temperature at atmospheric pressure by using simple apparatus. The as-synthesized MWCNTs were characterized by both scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The electrical property of an individual MWCNT was evaluated by I-V measurement. The electrical resistance of single MWCNT is about 450 k/ in linear region under bias voltage between 2 to 4 V. It can undergo a large current of 6 2A at 4 V

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.

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were synthesized from camphor by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method in a range of 750-900. The catalyst was fed in three ways: (a) a sputtered Fe-film on a quartz substrate (b) vaporized ferrocene in an Ar flow; (c) both of (a) and (b). In the case (c), highly pure, dense and aligned MWCNT arrays formed on the quartz substrate at 850, whereas nonaligned MWCNTs formed in the cases (a) and (b).
