Abstract

In this review, we introduce the production methods and applications of carbon nanotubes. Carbon nanotubes are now attracting a broad range of scientists and industries due to their fascinating physical and chemical properties. Focusing on the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, we will briefly review the history and recent progress of the synthesis of carbon nanotubes for the large-scale production and double-walled carbon nanotube production. We will also describe effective purification methods that avoid structural damage, and discuss the electrochemical, composite, and medical applications of carbon nanotubes.
