Carbon nanotube manufacturing apparatus and manufacturing method

Abstract

The present invention relates to a carbon nanotube manufacturing apparatus, and a carbon nanotube manufacturing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a reactor body formed in a cylindrical shape and having an accommodation portion which is a space in which a reaction occurs; and a distribution plate which is positioned below the accommodation portion of the reactor body and distributes a reaction gas supplied to the accommodation portion. The reactor body comprises: a lower reactor; an upper reactor having a diameter greater than that of the lower reactor; and an expansion portion which connects the upper reactor to the lower reactor and has a gradually expanding diameter. Related methods are also described.
