Abstract:
Self-catalytic behavior of multi-walled carbon nanotubes is proposed and validated experimentally under the conditions in which metal catalysis was previously figured to work only. The self-catalysis could support the nanotube nucleation and radial and axial developing processes. This result should lead to a new and better understanding of the growth mechanism of carbon nanotubes in a metal catalytic process.
