Low-temperature synthesis of high-purity single-walled carbon nanotubes from alcohol
TL;DR: In this article, a simple catalytic chemical vapor deposition technique was used to synthesize high-purity single-walled carbon nanotubes at low temperature using alcohol as the carbon source.

Catalytic growth of single-wall carbon nanotubes from metal particles
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a supported catalyst-substrate system to promote the growth of single-wall carbon nanotubes in a specific size range, rather than the large irregular-sized multi-walled carbon fibrils that are known to grow from supported catalysts.

Application of carbon nanotube technology for removal of contaminants in drinking water: a review.
TL;DR: Based on the studied literature it appears that POU based CNT technology looks promising, that can possibly avoid difficulties of treating biological contaminants in conventional water treatment plants, and thereby remove the burden of maintaining the biostability of treated water in the distribution systems.

TL;DR: X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy showed that fullerene single-wall nanotubes (SWNTs) are nearly uniform in diameter and that they self-organize into “ropes,” which consist of 100 to 500 SWNTs in a two-dimensional triangular lattice with a lattice constant of 17 angstroms.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the growth mechanism for SWNTs must be independent of the details of the technique used to make them, and that the ready availability of large amounts of SWNT can make them much more accessible for further study.
