Which is the most efficient way to produce nanotubes?
There is an emerging discussion topic regarding the relative merits of arc discharge and laser vaporization. Alternative techniques are being developed or discussed: solid state formation, wet synthesis.
The relative merits should be discussed reagrding not only the net yield, but also purity, necessity of post-production purification (that may leave a residue), monodispersity, multi/single wall nanotubes, nanotubes with different elemental compositions.
