“…Other studies mention the importance of using different catalysts like Fe–Co [ 9 , 10 ], Fe–Ni [ 11 , 12 ] or Fe–Mo [ 13 ], as a way to influence the growth on zeolite (MgO) supported CNTs [ 14 , 15 ]. However, in all these articles, at least two steps are required: the formation of catalyst nanoparticles over substrate particles, followed by the CNTs synthesis under a carbon source flow with the consequent manufacturing delay.…”

Carbon nanotubes with single and few walls are highly appreciated for their technological applications, regardless of the limited availability due to their high production cost. In this paper we present an alternative process that can lead to lowering the manufacturing cost of CNTs of only few walls by means of the use of the spray pyrolysis technique. For this purpose, ferrocene is utilized as a catalyst and aliphatic alcohols (methanol, ethanol, propanol or butanol) as the carbon source. The characterization of CNTs was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The study of the synthesized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) show important differences in the number of layers that constitute the nanotubes, the diameter length, the quantity and the quality as a function of the number of carbons employed in the alcohol. The main interest of this study is to give the basis of an efficient synthesis process to produce CNTs of few walls for applications where small diameter is required.
