Abstract

Bundles of single walled 0.4 nm carbon nanotubes were prepared by chemical vapor deposition using n-hexane as carbon source catalyzed by ferrocene with additives of thiophene at 1373 K. 8 cm long rope of single walled carbon nanotubes with diameters of 0.8-1.18 nm was also synthesized. The products were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy.
