ABSTRACT:
A carbon nanotube manufacturing method is provided. In the carbon nanotube manufacturing method, carbon nanoparticles are dispersed in a strong acid solution and heated at a predetermined temperature under reflux to form carbon nanotubes from the carbon nanoparticles. The carbon nanotubes can be simply produced on a mass-scale at low costs by using the strong acid solution.
