“…CNTs can be synthesized by arc discharge [ 20 ], flame synthesis [ 21 ], microwave-assisted synthesis [ 22 ], chemical vapor deposition [ 23 ], and catalytic pyrolysis [ 24 ], among which, the last one has proved promising. With this method, polyolefin, which has a high carbon content, is usually used as the carbon source because the plastic waste is mostly hydrocarbon polymers [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ]. This will not only enable the low cost production of novel CNTs but also address the above-mentioned issues caused by plastic waste accumulation and the conventional dumping methods.…”
