摘要 |
A catalytic chemical vapor deposition method and apparatus for synthesizing carbon nanotubes and/or carbon nanofibers (CNTs) on a substrate involves selectively heating a catalyst for CNT synthesis on or near the surface of the substrate. Selective heating of the catalyst is achieved using inductive heating from a radio frequency source. Selective heating of the catalyst prevents heating of the substrate and enables the synthesis of CNTs on temperature sensitive substrates.
