In this study, a simple Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) process we call Horizontal Vapor Phase Growth (HVPG) Method was used to grow carbon nanomaterial from activated carbon powder (charcoal). Scanning Electron Microscopy revealed that the carbon nanomaterial grew under high vacuum conditions (≈10-...
