background

● CNTs of smaller diameter have smaller mass.
● Gas-heating becomes difficult with scale up.
→ 1 nm-diameter single-wall CNTs remain very expensive.

summary

●Premixed flame for rapid heating of gas and decompositionof catalyst precursors.
●Rapid mixing with carbon source for nucleation of catalystparticles and CNTs at high density.
→ Continuous synthesis of 1 nm-diameter single-wall CNTs.

predominance

● Providing high-quality single-wall CNTs with excellent crystallinity.
● Suitable for flexible electronics applications.
