Abstract

See full text

Processes for growing carbon nanotubes on metal substrates are described herein. The processes include depositing a catalyst precursor on a metal substrate, optionally depositing a non-catalytic material on the metal substrate, and after depositing the catalyst precursor and the optional non-catalytic material, exposing the metal substrate to carbon nanotube growth conditions so as to grow carbon nanotubes thereon. The carbon nanotube growth conditions convert the catalyst precursor into a catalyst that is operable for growing carbon nanotubes. The metal substrate can remain stationary or be transported while the carbon nanotubes are being grown. Metal substrates having carbon nanotubes grown thereon are also described.
