Carbon Nanotube from Unconventional Precursor-Optimization of Synthesis Parameters

Carbon is a versatile element of distinctive properties and has been described as
the key element of living substance. Carbon nanostructures have attracted lots of
interest, due their prominent properties. Spray pyrolysis method is adopted for
synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Contrast to any petroleum product, there is
no fear of its ultimate shortage as it is a renewable source and can be obtained easily
by cultivating as much quantity as required. Synthesize well crystalline multiwalled
carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) from unconventional precursor of methyl ester of
Helianthus annuus oil by optimize the parameters such as reaction temperature,
catalyst composition and feed rate of carbon precursor in order to obtain good yield
with desirable morphology
