Problems solved by technology

In the process of preparing carbon nanotubes, the catalyst plays a very important role. In the past research, people have developed many catalyst preparation processes, among which the sol-gel method is the most typical, but the sol-gel method is complicated and requires Heat treatment, long preparation cycle, high energy consumption
On the other hand, the traditional CVD preparation method still has problems such as long synthesis time and low yield.
[0003] Due to the above reasons, carbon nanotubes, which have amazing properties and may be widely used, are limited in engineering applications due to high preparation costs.
