The growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on graphene quantum dot surface has been explored using acetylene as the carbon source in a catalyst free chemical vapor deposition process. Dynamic studies were conducted to observe the CNT growth. The obtained nanotubes have a diameter distribution of 10-30 nm and show medium graphitic quality. Transmission electron microscopy observations and dynamic studies indicate that the formation of CNTs follows a different mechanism from traditional growth models, in which a wire-to-tube process and self-assembling of CNTs are involved. On the basis of these observations, a tentative continuous growth model is proposed for the CNT growth. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
