Abstract
Multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNT) were synthesized by a novel method using mesoporous MCM-41 and MCM-48 silicates as nanoreactors in the absence of any metal traces. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies revealed that the quality of carbon nanotubes obtained was very promising, the diameter distribution is very narrow.
