Abstract
Abstract:
Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) possess a unique one-dimensional molecular geometry with a
large surface area. Recently, CNTs have become a thrust area of research as they play a crucial role in
molecular engineering due to their excellent mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. CNTs
have a wide range of applications in various fields due to their unique properties. The Multiple
Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) are thermally, mechanically, and structurally stronger than
single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The sublimation of carbon in an inert atmosphere is the
basis of synthetic methods of CNTs like the solar method, laser ablation, and electric arc discharge.
Specific chemical methods like CVD, electrolysis, catalytic decomposition of hydrocarbons, heat
treatment of a polymer, ball milling, etc., can also be used to prepare CNTs. Attempts have been
made in the present review to discuss all synthetic methods of CNTs, their discoverers, the importance
of techniques, various parameters that affect the process in detail, and the mechanism for the
growth of CNTs. This article aims to provide a comprehensive pathway for researchers who deal with
the synthetic methodology of carbon nanotubes. This review is also interesting for readers of material
science and nanochemistry.
