Carbon monoxide multiwall

For large scale production of carbon nanotubes and nanofibers chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method is most effective. Acetylene, ethylene, propylene, methane, natural gas (consisting predominantly of propane), carbon monoxide were used as a source of carbon [ 1 -8] (in view of large number of publications on CNT synthesis these references are selected arbitrary). Ethylene and possibly propylene are most convenient carbon sources for mass synthesis of high quality multiwall CNT (MWNT).
