Abstract

We report a simple and facile solid-state approach to large-scale synthesis of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MCNTs), for the first time, by one-step direct thermolysis of a metal–organic framework [Ni3(btc)2·12H2O] (btc = benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylato) in a one-end closed conventional horizontal tube furnace under relatively low temperature without using any additional carrier gas or catalyst.
