Nanowalls, a new nanostructural morphology of carbon , grow instead of nanotubes under microwave plasma‐enhanced CVD conditions on substrates electrically disconnected from the lower electrode. While not fully understood, the formation of nanowalls (see Figure for top view) appears to depend on the local electric field. Due to their large surface, nanotubes may find applications in field emission displays and energy storage devices.
