Diameter-Controlled Synthesis of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Abstract:

With the technological progress in the synthesis of multi-walled carbon nanotubes and single-walled carbon nanotubes, more attention was attracted to the synthesis of carbon nanotubes with diameter distribution, ideal length, different chirality and certain orientation. In recent decade, all these factors have been investigated and a number of progresses have been made for the application of carbon nanotubes. The latest researches on the growth of diameter-controlled single-walled carbon nanotubes are reviewed and discussed. The existing problems and challenges of the synthesis processes have been addressed in the future directions.
