Method to make carbon nanotubes from natural sources

This invention is directed to the production of carbon nanotubes, e.g., single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and/or multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), using plant fiber material as a unique starting carbon source. One of the advantages of using plant fiber material is that lower temperatures can be used to produce carbon nanotubes when compared...
