Free-standing aligned carbon nanotubes have previously been grown
above 700°C on mesoporous silica embedded with iron nanoparticles. Here, carbon nanotubes aligned over areas up to several square centimeters were grown on nickel-coated glass below 666°C by
plasma-enhanced hot filament chemical vapor deposition. Acetylene gas
was used as the carbon source and ammonia gas was used as a catalyst
and dilution gas. Nanotubes with controllable diameters from 20 to 400 nanometers and lengths from 0.1 to 50 micrometers were obtained. Using
this method, large panels of aligned carbon nanotubes can be made under
conditions that are suitable for device fabrication.
