Patent ID: 8388923

Claim:
A system of synthesizing multi-walled carbon nanotubes by chemical vapor deposition comprising: a Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) furnace to drive a reaction that generates at least one multi-walled carbon nanotube; a catalyst deposited on the CVD furnace to enhance the reaction that generates the carbon nanotube, wherein the catalyst form is cyclopentadienylirondicarbonyl dimer [CpFe(CO) 2 ] 2 and gamma-phase of alumina ((γ-Al 2 O 3 ), wherein the percentage by weight of the cyclopentadienylirondicarbonyl dimer [CpFe(CO) 2 ] 2 in relation to a gamma-phase of alumina (γ-Al 2 O 3 ) ranges from 80% to 100%, and a carbon source gas to react with the catalyst to grow the carbon nanotube in the CVD furnace.
