Abstract
We report a novel method for the synthesis of carbon nanotubes: low te mperature solid pyrolysis. By pyrolysis of hexamethyldisilazane-derive d silicon carbonitride powders in a graphite furnace, we synthesized c arbon nanotubes at 1400 degrees C. This new method has advantages of i n situ growth of the carbon nanotubes, is stable in the synthesis proc ess, and is technically simpler than conventional arc-discharge method s.
