Nanocarbon materials and method of their production, developed by TMSpetsmash Ltd. (Kyiv, Ukraine), are reviewed. Multiwall carbon nanotubes with surface area 200-500 m2/g are produced in industrial scale with use of CVD method. Ethylene is used as a source of carbon and Fe-Mo-Al- mixed oxides as catalysts. Fumed silica is used as a pseudo-liquid diluent in order to decrease aggregation of nanotubes and bulk density of the products. Porous carbon nanofibers with surface area near 300-500 m2/g are produced from acetylene with use of (Fe, Co, Sn)/C/Al2O3-SiO2 catalysts prepared mechanochemically. High surface area microporous nanocarbon materials were prepared by activation of carbon nanofibers. Effective surface area of these nanomaterials reaches 4000-6000 m2/g (by argon desorption method). Such materials are prospective for electrochemical applications. Methods of catalysts synthesis for CVD of nanocarbon materials and mechanisms of catalytic CVD are discussed. © 2007 Springer.
