A method for the production of carbon nanotubes was developed using low vacuum pressure, low temperature, and simple catalyst preparation. Acetylene, nitrogen and hydrogen gas mixture was used as process gas. The nickel catalyst was used and placed in a quartz reactor which is arranged inside a modi...
