摘要
Multi-wall carbon nanotubes were synthesized from sucrose by a pyrolytic technique using mesopourous MCM-41 silicate templates without transition metal catalysts. The nanotubes were examined in the carbon/silicate composite and after dissolution of the silicate. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy study of the multi-wall nanotubes showed them to be 15 nm in diameter, 200 nm in length and close-ended. There was variation in crystallinity with some nanotubes showing disordered wall structures.
