title: Graphene/graphite sheet assisted growth of high-areal-density horizontally aligned carbon nanotubes.
abstract: We report a facile graphene/graphite sheet assisted CVD process for the synthesis of high-areal-density HACNT arrays. Besides, some metal nanoparticles could eat the graphene/graphite sheets, forming serpentine holes on the sheets in the early stage, and finally leading to the precipitation of CNTs without an additional carbon source.
