“…In this context, vegetable oil is one choice of liquid carbon source from biomass, as the high carbon content can produce large amounts of high-quality CNTs with high purity. Turpentine oil (C 10 H 16 ), 37,38 eucalyptus (C 10 H 18 O), 39 coconut, 40 neem, 41 and palm oil [42][43][44] have also been used as the carbon source for CNTs production. In a spray pyrolysis process with carefully designed Fe/Co zeolite catalysts and eucalyptus oil as carbon source, Ghosh et al successfully synthesized SWCNTs of diameter of ca.…”

Carbon-based structures are the most versatile materials used in the modern field of renewable energy (i.e., in both generation and storage) and environmental science (e.g., purification/remediation). However, there is a need and indeed a desire to develop increasingly more sustainable variants of classical carbon materials (e.g., activated carbons, carbon nanotubes, carbon aerogels, etc.), particularly when the whole life cycle is considered (i.e., from precursor "cradle" to "green" manufacturing and the product end-of-life "grave"). In this regard, and perhaps mimicking in some respects the natural carbon cycles/production, utilization of natural, abundant and more renewable precursors, coupled with simpler, lower energy synthetic processes which can contribute in part to the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions or the use of toxic elements, can be considered as crucial parameters in the development of sustainable materials manufacturing. Therefore, the synthesis and application of sustainable carbon materials are receiving increasing levels of interest, particularly as application benefits in the context of future energy/chemical industry are becoming recognized. This review will introduce to the reader the most recent and important progress regarding the production of sustainable carbon materials, whilst also highlighting their application in important environmental and energy related fields.

In this paper, carbon nanotubes on porous silicon substrate were developed in order to get high quality nanotubes for various kind of application. CNTs were deposited on porous silicon nanostructures (PSiN) at 750 0C on porous silicon by using double-furnace thermal chemical vapor deposition technique. Align carbon nanotubes with diameters of 15 to 30 nm were successfully synthesized on a porous silicon substrate. In this system, carbon nanotubes were grown directly on the p-type porous silicon surface at 750 0C for a total time of 30 minutes. The samples were characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy and micro-Raman spectroscopy. Align carbon nanotubes (ACNTs) bundle with uniform diameter (~20 nm) were found grown on porous silicon at certain area. Based on micro-Raman spectroscopy result, the peak of silicon at ~520 nm and peak of carbon nanotube (around 1 300 to 1 600 nm) was detected.

“…By using palm oil as natural bio-hydrocarbon source, not only can we reduce the production cost; it can also be the green alternative for industrial scale production of CNTs [7]. There were many reports on using palm oil as carbon source and ferrocene as the catalyst which yielded high quality aligned carbon nanotubes [8]. However, not many reports were done on using Zinc Nitrate solution which is a new catalyst approach towards producing better quality CNTs.…”

Carbon nanotubes were synthesized from the aerosol-assisted catalytic CVD method using palm oil as the precursor and 0.05M zinc nitrate solution as the catalyst. The deposition temperature of the single furnace aerosol-assisted catalytic CVD ranged from 750 to 950 oC. The samples were then characterized using field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), Raman spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). CNTs with different diameters and distribution were produced at certain deposition temperature and amorphous carbons were also present in the samples.
