Patent ID: 11117803

Abstract:
A method for manufacturing multi-wall carbon nanotubes, includes the steps of: (a) dissolving a metal precursor in a solvent to prepare a precursor solution; (b) perform thermal decomposition while spraying the precursor solution into a reactor, thereby forming a catalyst powder; and (c) introducing the catalyst powder into a fluidized-bed reactor heated to 600-900° C. and spraying a carbon-based gas and a carrier gas to synthesize multi-wall carbon nanotubes from the catalyst powder, wherein steps (a) to (c) are performed in a continuous type and wherein the catalyst powder contains metal components according to equation 1 below. <Equation 1> Ma:Mb=x:y, wherein Ma represents at least two metals selected from Fe, Ni, Co, Mn, Cr, Mo, V, W, Sn, and Cu; Mb represents at least one metal selected from Mg, Al, Si, and Zr; x and y each represent the molar ratio of Ma and Mb; and x+y=10, 2.0≤x≤7.5, and 2.5≤y≤8.0.
