  • Method for producing carbon nanotubes
    Patent number: 11697592
    Abstract: Provided is a method for highly efficiently producing highly pure single-walled carbon nanotubes. This method for producing carbon nanotubes by fluidized CVD includes: a step for heating a material (A) to 1200° C. or higher, in which the total mass of Al2O3 and SiO2 constitutes at least 90% of the total mass of the material (A) and the mass ratio of Al2O3/SiO2 is in the range of 1.0-2.3; and a step for bringing a gas, which is present in the environment in which the material (A) is being heated to 1200° C. or higher, into contact with a feed gas to generate carbon nanotubes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 26, 2019
    Date of Patent: July 11, 2023
    Assignees: Osaka Soda Co., Ltd., Meijo Nano Carbon Co., Ltd.
    Inventors: Naruhito Iwasa, Daigo Hirayama, Jitsuo Oda, Yasushi Miki, Hisato Kagawa, Takeshi Hashimoto, Kei Takano
