摘要
The high intensity of concentrated solar radiation obtained with the Odeillo (France) solar furnace facilities can be used to produce carbon nanotubes by direct vaporization of carbon bi-metal targets under inert gas atmosphere. Electron microscope pictures and Raman spectra show that the structure of the produced carbon nanotubes is likely to depend on experimental conditions and that the growth of single-wall or multi-walled carbon nanotubes can be favored.
