Abstract

Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNTs) grown on metal substrates are of great importance for their applications in thermal and electrical devices. However, synthesizing better quality and long CNTs on metal substrates is still a big challenge. We have synthesized vertically aligned multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on different metal substrates (i.e. copper and iron)by chemical vapor deposition and vertically aligned CNTs with lengths ranging from 2 to 400 µmwere obtained. Moreover, the length of CNT on iron substrate has reached over 1mm,whichis relatively high CNT arrays using CVD on metal substrate to date.
