Abstract

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).
