CATALYTIC LIQUID FOR SYNTHESIS OF CARBON NANOTUBE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a catalyst liquid used in the synthesis of carbon nanotubes by the thermal decomposition of a carbon-containing material, to obtain a catalytic substrate formed by using the catalytic liquid, to obtain a method for producing the catalytic substrate using the catalytic fluid and to obtain a method for synthesizing carbon nanotubes using the catalytic substrate. SOLUTION: This catalytic liquid for the synthesis of carbon nanotubes comprises a micro-emulsion prepared by dispersing hyperfine catalyst particles for the synthesis of carbon nanotubes in a solvent. The catalytic substrate for the synthesis of carbon nanotubes has hyperfine catalyst particles formed from the catalytic liquid on the surface. A carbon-containing material is thermally decomposed in the presence of the catalytic substrate of form carbon nanotubes on the substrate.
