体に担持することができる。As a method for supporting the catalyst fine particles on the surface / inside of the pores of the porous carrier, there is a method in which the catalyst fine particles and the porous carrier are contained in a supercritical fluid and then heat-treated. The supercritical fluid refers to a fluid in which the density of a gas sharply increases at a temperature and pressure exceeding a critical temperature and a critical pressure, and the gas is in a state of being incompatible with a gas or a liquid. Examples of applications include supercritical extraction, such as removing caffeine and nicotine from coffee and tobacco. Supercritical fluids are substances that have the same dissolving capacity as liquids, high diffusivity and low viscosity similar to gases, and lack of surface tension easily transports reaction precursors into micropores smaller than the micron order. Play a role. Specifically, a metal complex such as metal acetate (a reaction precursor) is
Dissolved in supercritical fluids such as oxygen dioxide. Solubility can be adjusted by temperature, pressure and entrainer (additive). As the supercritical fluid, for example, in addition to carbon dioxide, methane, ethane, ethylene, propane, butane,
Methanol, ethanol, acetone and the like. Examples of the entrainer include xylene and toluene. In the case of using supercritical oxygen dioxide, the above metal complex is put in the pore under the condition of a critical point (critical temperature: 31.0 ° C, critical pressure: 72.9 atm) or more, for example, 35-300 ° C, 75-350 atm. Let penetrate. Then, returning to normal temperature and normal pressure, after the supercritical fluid is removed by gasification, in a vacuum, or, Ar, in a non-oxidizing atmosphere such as N 2 100-60
By performing the heat treatment at a temperature of about 0 ° C., the metal catalyst can be supported on the porous body.

Even at 00 ° C., no single-walled carbon nanotube was confirmed. The yield and crystallinity of the multilayer tube tended to be better as the temperature was lower.
