Abstract

Vertically aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes (VA-SWNTs) are a new material expected to be used in various applications, such as field emission displays, or optical devices. We have developed the alcohol catalytic chemical vapor deposition (ACCVD) method to produce high-purity VA-SWNT films from alcohol. However, ACCVD growth control is not well-established because the SWNT synthesis mechanism has not yet been clarified. In this research, we attempt to better understand the SWNT growth mechanism, with the aim of improving the uniformity in length, diameter and chirality of the VA-SWNT films.
