Here we will present the state-of-the-art of the aerosol synthesis method. We demonstrate the reliability of this method by showing that the method can be successfully used for the synthesis of C and CNx multi walled nanotubes. For characterization, scanning- (SEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) imaging have been carried out. The N/C ratio is determined using Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (EELS) combined with TEM.
