Description
Summary:We found the easy and efficient synthesis method of the vertically aligned ultralong multiwalled nanotubes using iron chloride powder. The 2.1 - mm -long bulk nanotubes can be grown by conventional thermal chemical vapor deposition on bare quartz surface with the single gas flow of acetylene for 20 min . In addition to the high growth rate, the bulk of carbon nanotubes is easily spun into the yarn by pulling it out, and the present method also provides the coating ability with nanotubes as a new functionality of this nanomaterial.
