Selective synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with a specific (n, m) chirality is desired for many potential applications. A sulfur-assisted CVD method using ethanol as carbon feedstock was demonstrated. The results show that introducing sulfur-containing compounds into carbon feed...
