“…A simple chemical synthesis is used to produce a-CNTs by heating a mixture of Fe(C 5 H 5 ) 2 and NH 4 Cl at 200 C. The a-CNTs are made of amorphous carbon, and are present in straight tubular structures with open ends. The nanotube walls are also observed to be defective.…”

“…Various growth techniques such as plasma-enhanced or thermal chemical vapour deposition (CVD), arc discharge, laser vaporization or pyrolysis have been utilized to commercially synthesize most crystalline CNTs [3,4]. Although these techniques are well established, a number of drawbacks still persist.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
