Carbon nano- tube support metallic oxide particle and granule condition carbon nano- tube

摘要

The invention provides novel metal oxide particles on which carbon nanotubes are supported. Needle- or flake-like crystalline metal oxide particles characterized in that carbon nanotubes grown parallel to each other in the direction nearly perpendicular to the surface of each particle are supported on the surfaces of the particles and that the carbon nanotubes supported on the particles are 1 to 500µm in length in the direction nearly perpendicular to the surface of each particle.
