A simple method for producing patterned forests of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) is described. An aqueous metal salt solution is spin-coated onto a substrate patterned with photoresist by standard methods. The photoresist is removed by acetone washing leaving the acetone-insoluble catalyst pattern on the substrate. Dense forests of vertically aligned (VA) MWCNTs are grown on the patterned catalyst layers by chemical vapour deposition. The procedures have been demonstrated by growing MWCNT forests on two substrates: silicon and conducting graphitic carbon films. The forests adhere strongly to the substrates and when grown directly on carbon film, offer a simple method of preparing MWCNT electrodes.
描述了一种制备多壁碳纳米管（MWCNT）图案化森林的简单方法。通过标准方法将金属盐水溶液旋涂到用光刻胶图案化的基板上。通过丙酮洗涤去除光刻胶，在基板上留下丙酮不溶性催化剂图案。通过化学气相沉积在图案化的催化剂层上生长垂直排列（VA）MWCNT的致密森林。该方法已通过在两种基板上生长MWCNT森林得到证明：硅和导电石墨碳膜。这些森林与基板紧密附着，当直接生长在碳膜上时，提供了一种制备MWCNT电极的简单方法。
