Abstract

Numerous scientific reports devoted to the synthesis of carbon nanostructures (CNS) are published as a way of searching for industrially feasible processes. Researchers try to find efficient and at the same time cheap, affordable and easy-to-use sources of carbon, catalysts and methods of carbon nanotubes production. The present review article highlights research on the synthesis of CNS from gas and liquid feedstock which appears to be the most amenable for large-scale production. Carbon sources, types of catalysts used as well as methods for production of various carbon nanostructures are sequentially described.

Kurzfassung

Zahlreiche wissenschaftliche Publikationen sind der Synthese von Kohlenstoff-Nanostrukturen (CNS) unter dem Aspekt industrieller Herstellung gewidmet. Ausschau wurde nach Wegen zur effizienten katalytischen Produktion von Kohlenstoff-Nanoröhren gehalten, deren Synthese billige und leicht zugängliche Kohlenwasserstoffquellen und Katalysatorsysteme nutzt. Dieser Übersichtsartikel beschreibt einige Verfahren der CNS-Synthese, die flüssige und gasförmige Kohlenwasserstoffquellen nutzen und gleichzeitig zur Hochskalierung in industrielle Maßstäbe geeignet sind. Insbesondere die Kohlenwasserstoffquellen, die Katalysatorsysteme und die damit erhaltenen Kohlenstoff-Nanostrukturen werden im Einzelnen beschrieben.
