Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and their related products have been extensively studied in the fields of cutting-edge technologies such as aerospace materials and gas sensors owing to its excellent physical properties, mechanical strength, and electrical performance. Currently, extensive studies on CNTs made it possible to achieve the stable, efficient, cheap, and large-scale manufacturing of CNTs, thereby it has been regarded as an important research topic. This study investigated the influencing factors of the experimental environment on the growth of carbon nanotubes through experimental results. After summarizing the influencing conditions and evaluating the thermal and gas flow rates optimization, CNTs with a height of 51 μm were successfully grown by controlling the temperature in repeated experimental, using the electron evaporation device and chemical vapor deposition. it was observed through scanning electron microscopy that the growth morphology of CNTs was shown and the experimental methods to improve the success rate of CNTs growth were proposed.
