Then, the SWCNTs may, if desired, be removed from the aerogel supported catalyst. Typically, the SWCNTs are produced in high yield, for instance, about 100% or greater, based on the weight of the catalyst.
  • SWCNTs are obtained in high yields heretofore unobtainable. This yield is far higher than that of the prior art CVD method, which resulted, at best, in a yield of about 40% based on the weight of the catalyst.

  • the yield of the SWCNT material was measured by heating up the prepared SWCNT material under flowing air in a TGA.
  • the total yield of SWCNT material which yield is shown on the vertical axis as a % weight gain, was calculated by the weight loss between 300°C and 700°C, which temperature is shown on the horizontal axis, where the SWCNT material burned in air, divided by the weight left at 700°C, which was presumably the weight of the catalyst and support materials.
  • the inventive method showed a yield of significantly better than the values previously reported values by A. M. Cassell, J. A. Raymakers, J. Kong, H. J. Dai, Journal of Physical Chemistry B 103, 6484-6492 (1999) Kong, Cassell, and Dai, Chemical Physics Letters 292, 4-6 (1998).
  • the quality of the prepared SWCNT was characterized by SEM imaging and TEM imaging. More particularly, as depicted in Figure 3a, the SEM image of the as- prepared SWCNT material showed a tangled web-like network of very clean fibers. The diameters of the fibers appeared to be in the range of about 10 to about 20 nanometers. It is noted that the SEM image was of as-grown materials; no purification was performed before the imaging. Furthermore, as depicted in Figure 3b, the TEM image of the SWCNT material showed that the fibers observed in the SEM image were actually bundles of single walled carbon nanotubes.
  • the diameters of the nanotubes measured from the high resolution TEM images were between about 0.9 and about 2.7 nm. Both the SEM and the TEM images showed the SWCNT materials possessed characteristics similar to those of high quality single walled carbon nanotube materials prepared in the laser method (see, A. Thess et al., Science 273, 483-487 (1996) and T. Guo, P. Nikolaev, A. Thess, D. T. Colbert, and R. E. Smalley, Chemical Physics Letters 243, 49-54 (1995)) and the arc method (see, M. Wang, X.L.

  • Fricke, Aerogels, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Heidelberg, New York, Tokyo (1986) and N. Husing, U. Schubert, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 37, 22-45 (1998) discuss that merely evaporating the liquid solvent at ambient conditions (i.e., about STP) would cause the gel to shrink due to the collapse of the porous structures by the strong forces from surface tension at the liquid/gas interfaces within the pores in the gel, and this shrinkage would significantly reduce the total surface area and pore volume of the dried material, which is normally called xerogel.
  • the liquid solvent in the wet gel is put into the supercritical state, for instance, under a carbon dioxide blanket. Therefore, there are substantially no liquid/gas interfaces in the pores during drying.
  • the original porous structure in the wet gel is thus substantially maintained in the resultant dried catalysts/aerogels. Also, as more and more nanotubes were grown on the surface of the aerogel supported catalyst, the diffusion of the carbon-containing compound, i.e., methane or carbon monoxide in the examples below, to the catalyst/support became more difficult.

Then before being used for SWCNT growth, conversion to the metal form was effected by reduction under H 2 for 30 minutes at 900° C. The pressure at that stage was about 830 psi (about 59.4 kg/cm 2 ).
  • Each catalyst/support prepared this way was a catalyst supported on a highly porous, very fine, free-flowing aerogel with a surface area of from about 500 m 2 /g to about 600 m 2 /g.

After the temperature reached 260°C, the system was maintained at that temperature for about 30 minutes before the EtOH was released slowly. The releasing process took about 15 minutes. The, the system was cooled down gradually and the aerogel supported catalyst taken out. The yield of nanotubes for this was similar to the one dried with CO 2 .

  • Example I The procedure of Example I was substantially repeated, except this time with CO instead of CH 4 . Also, the temperature of the CO flow was about 850°C, with a CO flow rate of about 1200 seem for about 200 minutes. The result was a yield of about 150%.
  • Example I The procedure of Example I was substantially repeated, except this time with AI 2 O 3 /SiO 2 as the aerogel support, instead of AI 2 O 3 as the aerogel support. Substantially the same results were obtained, except there was more amorphous carbon.
