Abstract

We report a novel method for the synthesis of carbon nanotubes: low temperature solid pyrolysis. By pyrolysis of hexamethyldisilazane-derived silicon carbonitride powders in a graphite furnace, we synthesized carbon nanotubes at 1400 °C. This new method has advantages of in situ growth of the carbon nanotubes, is stable in the synthesis process, and is technically simpler than conventional arc-discharge methods.
