“…22 Dense vertically aligned MWCNTs containing only a few walls have been grown from Fe-V-O nanoparticles by CVD. 23 Decomposition of methane over MgO impregnated with various precious metals such as Fe, Co, Ni, Ru, Rh, Pd, Os, Ir, or Pt afford MWCNTs (with the graphite layers parallel to the tube axis) with Group 8 and 9 metals and carbon nanofibers (CNFs) with herringbone type graphene sheets with Group 10 metals. 24 Semiconductor nanoparticles of SiC, Ge, and Si produce SWCNTs and DWCNTs in CVD with ethanol.…”
