Pyrolytic Carbon Nanofibers and Nanotubes: Structure and Applications

  • Chapter

Abstract

The pyrolytic method has been shown to be more controllable and cost efficient to get high purity carbon nanofibers and nanotubes, especially using the floating catalyst method of ultra-fine metal particles. Through exact control of the synthesis conditions, various types of fibers from semi-crystalline to crystalline carbon nanofibers and nanotubes are obtained for specific applications such as an additive in a Li-ion battery anode.
