(a) Relationship between binary catalyst (Ni+X) and (6,5)CNTs purity. A plot of (6,5)CNTs purity against the atomic number of the second factor (X) used in the binary catalyst. (b) Relationship between the fluorescence (PL) intensity (∝synthesized amount) of the ternary catalyst (NiSn+Y) and (6,5)CNTs. PL intensity dependence of (6,5)CNTs on the third factor (Y). (c-e) (c) Fluorescence-excitation (PLE) map, (d) UV-visible-NIR absorption spectrum, and (e) fitting results of CNTs synthesized under optimal synthesis conditions using a NiSnFe ternary catalyst.
