The catalytic nanoparticles were obtained by modified method of reverse micelles of bis-(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate sodium in isooctane solution that provides the nanoparticle size control in range of 1 to 5 nm. The metallic nanoparticles of Ni and Co were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic-force microscopy (AFM). Carbon nanotubes were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition of CH4/H2 composition at temperature 1000 {\textdegree}ะก on catalysts pre-deposited on silicon dioxide substrate. Before temperature treatment during the carbon nanotube synthesis most of the catalyst material agglomerates due to magnetic forces while during the nanotube growth disintegrates into the separate nanoparticles with narrow diameter distribution. The formed nanotube networks were characterized using AFM, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy. We find that the nanotubes are mainly single-walled carbon nanotubes with high structural perfection up to 200 $\mu$m long with diameters from 1.3 to 1.7 nm consistent with catalyst nanoparticles diameter distribution and independent of its material.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=1779), last updated on Tue, 01 Jun 2021 13:33:08 -0500", issn="0367-598X", doi="10.2298/HEMIND140910005G", opturl="http://www.doiserbia.nb.rs/Article.aspx?ID=0367-598X1500005G", opturl="https://doi.org/10.2298/HEMIND140910005G" }
