Mutual Exclusivity in the Synthesis of High Crystallinity and High Yield Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes.

We report the mutually exclusive relationship between carbon nanotube (CNT) yield and crystallinity. Growth conditions were optimized for CNT growth yield and crystallinity through sequential tuning of three input variables: growth enhancer level, growth temperature, and carbon feedstock level. This...
