Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method for the continuous production of carbon nanotubes, the method comprising: a mixture preparing step for mixing and stirring a solvent, a metal salt, a surfactant, a reducing agent, and a function improving agent to prepare an emulsion mixture; a gaseous mixture forming step for mixing the emulsion mixture with a carrier gas to form a gas phase mixture; and a reacting step for introducing the gas phase mixture into a heated reactor to form carbon nanotubes, wherein the diameter of the carbon nanotubes can be uniformly controlled, and the production yield of the carbon nanotubes can be increased.
Claims6
A method for continuous production of carbon nanotubes, the method comprising:
