Find out from the following options a disadvantage of the thermal plasma method used for CNT production.
Find out from the following options a disadvantage of the thermal plasma method used for CNT production. Correct Answer Amorphous carbon formation
Thermal plasma method is used for the synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes. This procedure is quite efficient, economical, continuous and less energy consuming than arc discharge or laser ablation methods. However, this method produces impure SWCNTs comprising of metallic nanoparticles and amorphous carbon.
