Nitrogen doped carbon nanotubes (N-CNT) were synthesized by a Modified Chemical Vapor Deposition method, using pyridine as carbon and nitrogen source, and ferrocene as catalytic agent for the nanotubes growth. The influence of synthesis parameters as the temperature, carrier gas flow rate, concentra...
