MENDOZA, D.; SANTIAGO, P.  and  REYES PEREZ, E.. Carbon nanotubes produced from hexane and ethanol. Rev. mex. fis. [online]. 2006, vol.52, n.1, pp.1-5. ISSN 0035-001X.

The synthesis of multi-wall carbon nanotubes using hexane or ethanol as the carbon source, hydrogen as the carrier gas, and iron as the catalyst with a thermal chemical vapor deposition method, is reported. It was found that the use of ethanol as the carbon source under low temperature (700° C) gives better results than other liquid precursors in obtaining long and clean carbon nanotubes on quartz substrates.

Keywords : Carbon nanotubes; chemical vapor deposition.
