“…For instance, a record thermal conductivity of 0.075 W•m −1 •K −1 (theoretical value) has been obtained for aCNTs, demonstrating their exceptional thermal stability and oxidation resistance below 300 • C; moreover, they could transform into MWCNTs at 1700 • C in argon atmosphere [19][20][21]. Furthermore, the diverse monolayer aCNTs exhibit intriguing optical characteristics and are thus promising candidates for various applications, including optoelectronics, sensors, and ultraviolet filters [22,23].…”

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have rapidly received increasing attention and great interest as potential materials for energy storage and catalyst fields, which is due to their unique physicochemical and electrical properties. With continuous improvements in fabrication routes, CNTs have been modified with various types of materials, opening up new perspectives for research and state-of-the-art technologies. Amorphous CNTs (aCNTs) are carbon nanostructures that are distinctively different from their well-ordered counterparts, such as single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs and MWCNTs, respectively), while the atoms in aCNTs are grouped in a disordered, crystalline/non-crystalline manner. Owing to their unique structure and properties, aCNTs are attractive for energy storage, catalysis, and aerospace applications. In this review, we provide an overview of the synthetic routes of aCNTs, which include chemical vapor deposition, catalytic pyrolysis, and arc discharge. Detailed morphologies of aCNTs and the systematic elucidation of tunable properties are also summarized. Finally, we discuss the future perspectives as well as associated challenges of aCNTs. With this review, we aim to encourage further research for the widespread use of aCNTs in industry.
