Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been extensively studied during the past two decades and Catalytic Chemical Vapour Deposition (CCVD) technique has been untiredly employed by researchers to produce CNTs of various crystallographic configurations. In this paper the material aspects carbon sources, cataly...
