Abstract: Aligned carbon nanotube arrays(ACNTA) with 210 μm in length were prepared by pyrolysis of iron(Ⅱ) phthalocyanine(FePc)and ethylene(C2H4). The as-grown ACNTA, which were well-aligned and pure, were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), Raman spectrum and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). The influence of experimental conditions, such as temperature, growth time, and flow rate of C2H4 on the formation of ACNTA were systematically investigated. The results indicate that 800 ℃ was the most suitable temperature for the preparation of long ACNTA by pyrolysis of FePc and C2H4 , the activity of catalyst could be kept for a rather long time(60 min), the addition of C2H4 significantly enhanced the growth speed of ACNTA and 50 cm3/min was found to be the optimal flow rate for the formation of ACNTA.
