Mechanisms of Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene Growth: Kinetics versus Thermodynamics

Thermodynamics must be favorable for the growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene to take place, but a kinetic study is required to find the operating mechanism. In fact, thermodynamics indicates whether a reaction is possible; however, the route prevailing is not necessarily the most thermody...
