Multiwall carbon nanotubes were synthesised using fixed catalyst in a chemical vapor deposition reactor. The reactor system was locally built and used to grow carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on oil palm shell powdered activated carbon (PAC). The PAC was impregnated with Fe3+ catalyst through sonication proc...
