Abstract
Disclosed are carbon nanotubes and a method for manufacturing the same wherein the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) which comprise a three-component carbon nanotube catalyst containing a catalytic component and an active component and have a potato or spherical shape with a particle diameter distribution (Dcnt) of 0.5 to 1.0 can be manufactured at a high yield using an impregnated supported catalyst by simultaneously removing activity and a fine powder of the impregnated supported catalyst in an attempt to solve a drawback of conventional impregnation methods for producing CNTs, namely, the difficulty in improving a yield of CNTs.
