Note: Carbon nanotubes are manufactured and reproduced using a variety of methods  , such as CVD, laser irradiation, and hardening  CVD is the best option  for industrial production of carbon nanotubes. The reason for this is the low cost-to-income ratio  and the possibility of vertical growth of nanotubes on the desired substrate  

In this process, the carbon in the negative electrode is  submerged, which is due to the high temperature  in the discharge process. Since  this method was first used to synthesize nanotubes  , it is known as the most common method of producing  carbon nanotubes. In this method,  which consists of both nanotubes, single-walled and  multi-walled, with lengths up to 50 microns containing  structural defects. In the process of laser radiation, the laser is used to evaporate the  graphite and an inert gas is used to direct these  vapors into the tank. Carbon nanotubes grow on the cold surface of the reactor  This is  suitable for the production  of multi-walled carbon nanotubes. And with The use of graphite composite and fossil catalyst particles using a  combination of  cobalt and nickel (for the synthesis of carbon nanotubes) CNT and CNTs is  used. The efficiency of this process is 70  % and its main product is  single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes. The diameter of these nanotubes can  be completely controlled and the diameter of the nanotube can be arbitrarily controlled by changing the temperature  .


 The CVD method uses  catalysts to produce carbon nanotubes  Throughout the CVD process, a layer of  nickel, cobalt, and  metal catalyst particles is generally used  to produce carbon nanotubes CVD is a common method for commercial production  of carbon nanotubes. In this method, the diameter of the  nanotubes is related to the dimensions of the metal particles. By  underlaying the substrate, using heat treatment and  catalyzing the catalytic refining, the diameter of the nanotubes can be  controlled.

Conclusion:

If carbon nanotubes are used to grow a  strong electric field, nanotubes will grow at the top of the applied field  CVD is the best option  for industrial production of carbon nanotubes. The reason for this is the low cost-to-income ratio  as well as the possibility of vertical growth of nanotubes on the desired substrate
