Ultraviolet irradiated ozone treatment of a metal catalyst for the large-scale synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes with small, uniform diameters Original Research Article

Large-scale synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes with small diameters and narrow distribution was performed using catalytic decomposition of C2H2 at 800 °C by introducing an ultraviolet irradiated ozone (UV-ozone) treatment on an as-prepared Fe–Mo/
