Method and apparatus for manufacturing carbon nanostructure, and carbon nanostructure assembly

摘要

There is provided a method for manufacturing a carbon nanostructure with reduced occurrence of a bend and the like. The method for manufacturing a carbon nanostructure according to the present invention includes the steps of: preparing a base body formed of a catalyst member including a catalyst and a separation member that are in contact with or integral with each other (preparation step); oxidizing at least a part of a contact portion or integral portion of the catalyst member and the separation member (oxidation step); bringing a carbon-containing source gas into contact with the catalyst member and/or the separation member (CNT growth step); and growing a carbon nanostructure (CNT growth step). In the CNT growth step, the carbon nanostructure is grown in a separation interface region between the catalyst member and the separation member, by heating the base body while separating the separation member from the catalyst member.

1. A method for manufacturing a carbon nanostructure, comprising the steps of:
preparing a base body formed of a catalyst member including a catalyst and a separation member that are in contact with or integral with each other; oxidizing at least a part of a contact portion or integral portion of said catalyst member and said separation member in said base body; bringing a carbon-containing source gas into contact with said catalyst member and/or said separation member; and growing a carbon nanostructure straight along a prescribed direction in a separation interface region between said catalyst member and said separation member, by heating said base body while separating said separation member from said catalyst member along said prescribed direction.
