摘要： This invention provides a method for forming a catalyst layer for carbon nanostructure growth, which can eliminate the influence of water in a liquid for catalyst layer formation, can grow homogeneous and highly oriented carbon nanostructures over the whole area of a substrate and can realize mass production of the carbon nanostructures, and a liquid for catalyst layer formation for use in the method, and a process for producing carbon nanostructures using the catalyst layer formed by the method. The catalyst layer for use in the production of CNTs is formed by preparing a catalyst metal salt solution of a catalyst metal-containing metal compound (a catalyst metal salt) dispersed or dissolved in a solvent having an ample wettability towards the substrate and coating the catalyst metal salt solution onto the substrate to a form a thin film. The thin film is then heat treated to form a catalyst layer. The substrate with the dried catalyst layer formed thereon is introduced into a carbon nanostructure synthetic device, and CNTs are grown by a thermal CVD method.

Desirably, such methods occur without the utilization of carbon nanotube wrapping molecules or sonication. Further embodiments of the present disclosure pertain to carbon nanotube films that are fabricated in accordance with the methods of the present disclosure. Such carbon nanotube films comprise a plurality of carbon nanotubes that are dispersed and individualized. Additional embodiments of the present disclosure pertain to macroscopic objects comprising the carbon nanotube films made in accordance with the methods of the present disclosure described supra.
