METHOD FOR PREPARING CARBON NANOTUBE USING FULLERENE BASED COMPOUND AND CARBON NANOTUBE PREPARED BY THE SAME

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for manufacturing carbon nano-tubes using a fullerene based compound and the carbon nano-tubes manufactured by the same are provided to prevent the generation of impurities and easily manufacture the carbon nano-tubes by using an opened fullerene based compound as a starting material. CONSTITUTION: A method for manufacturing carbon nano-tubes using a fullerene based compound includes the following: The fullerene based compound is opened. The opened fullerene based compound is activated. In the activating process, the opened fullerene based compound is thermally treated under high temperature moisture to eliminate amorphous carbon. The thermally treated opened fullerene based compound is thermally treated without moisture in order to eliminate functional groups. Carbon nano-tubes are grown from the opened part of the opened and activated fullerene based compound.
