In this review, we introduce the produc- tion methods and applications of carbon nanotubes. Carbon nanotubes are now attracting a broad range of scientists and industries due to their fascinating physical and chemical properties. Focusing on the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, we will briefly review the history and re - cent progress of the synthesis of carbon nanotubes for the large-scale production and double-walled carbon nanotube pro- duction. We will also describe effective purification methods that avoid structural damage, and discuss the electrochemical, composite, and medical applications of carbon nanotubes.
