Abstract

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been a driving force for current advances in nanotechnology, both on an applied and on a fundamental level. CVD is the most effective method for large scale production of CNT at a rate comparatively faster than the other methods used for its production, thus making it the most economical method of CNT production. We have conducted the experiments on synthesis of CNT using alumina supported catalyst having cobalt and iron impregnated on it. Acetylene was used as a source of carbon and Argon was the inert gas used. The aim of conducting the experiment was to identify the effects of various experimental parameters viz. time, temperature, type of gas and its flow rate on the growth of CNT.
