An aggregate of carbon-based fine structures in which a plurality of carbon-based fine structures are collected, wherein respective carbon-based fine structures are oriented in the same direction. The above aggregate of carbon-based fine structures is an aggregate of a plurality of carbon-based fine structures in a state they are pulled by one another with strong interaction, and has such a length that allows the improvement of the handeability and workability thereof.

Carbon-based fine structure array, aggregate of carbon-based fine structures, use thereof and method for preparation thereof

Developed is high-efficiency synthesis method and apparatus capable of promoting the initial growth of carbon nanostructure by eliminating the initial fluctuation time and rising time in raw gas flow quantity.-A high-efficiency synthesis method of carbon nanostructure according to the present invention is a high-efficiency synthesis method of carbon nanostructure, the method comprising: bringing raw material gas and a catalyst into contact with each other under reactive conditions so as to produce a carbon nanostructure, wherein: the initiation of contact of the raw material gas with the catalyst is carried out instantaneously. Reaction conditions such as temperature and raw material gas concentration are set so as to meet those for catalyst growth, and under the reaction conditions, the initiation of contact of raw material gas G with catalyst 6 is carried out instantaneously. Consequently, the initial growth of carbon nanostructure is positively carried out, and the height growth and thickness growth thereof can be effected in high efficiency. Further, high-density growth and short-time high-speed growth can be realized. The catalyst includes any forms of catalyst such as catalyst substrate, catalyst structure, catalyst powders and catalyst pellet. It is especially preferred to employ a system wherein the feed and interruption of the raw material gas G are intermittently controlled by means of an electromagnetic three-way valve

A method for synthesizing carbon nanocoils with high efficiency, by determining the structure of carbon nuclei that have been attached to the ends of carbon nanocoils and thus specifying a true catalyst for synthesizing carbon nanocoils is implemented. The catalyst for synthesizing carbon nanocoils according to the present invention is a carbide catalyst that contains at least elements (a transition metal element, In, C) or (a transition metal element, Sn, C), and in particular, it is preferable for the transition metal element to be Fe, Co or Ni. In addition to this carbide catalyst, a metal catalyst of (Fe, Al, Sn) and (Fe, Cr, Sn) are effective. From among these, catalysts such as FeInC, FeInCSnw and FeSnC are particularly preferable. The wire diameter and the coil diameter can be controlled by using a catalyst where any of these catalysts is carried by a porous carrier.
