Title:
SINGLE-LAYER CARBON NANOTUBE AND ALINGED SINGLE-LAYER CARBON NANOTUBE BULK STRUCTURE, AND THEIR PRODUCTION PROCESS, PRODUCTION APPARATUS AND USE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2006/011655
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This invention provides an aligned single-layer carbon nanotube bulk structure, which comprises an assembly of a plurality of aligned single-layer carbon nanotubes and has a height of not less than 10 μm, and an aligned single-layer carbon nanotube bulk structure which comprises an assembly of a plurality of aligned single-layer carbon nanotubes and has been patterned in a predetermined form. This structure is produced by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of carbon nanotubes in the presence of a metal catalyst in a reaction atmosphere with an oxidizing agent, preferably water, added thereto. An aligned single-layer carbon nanotube bulk structure, which has realized high purity and significantly large scaled length or height, its production process and apparatus, and its applied products are provided.
