Abstract
It is necessary to develop a synthesis method for the high-density growth of carbon nanotubes at low temperatures to commercialise them in a wider range of fields. This study demonstrated the growth of pure high-density carbon nanotubes at a relatively low temperature through the thermal chemical vapor deposition growth method by modifying the conventional chemical vapor deposition system. For the system, the movement path of carbon supply gas was restricted, and gas decomposition was increased. Moreover, the reaction time between carbon feed gas and catalyst was increased, so the possibility of growing high-density carbon nanotubes was increased even at lower growth temperatures.

Keywords
Carbon nanotube, Chemical vapor deposition, High density, Low temperature growth, Water vapor synthesis.
