By using alkali salts as catalysts during chemical vapor deposition , several nanoscale carbon materials are formed. The morphology of the carbon materials mainly depends on the temperature at which the deposition process is carried out (see figure, width 5 μm, temperature set at 400 °C). The use of water‐soluble alkali salts rather than metal catalysts leads to a simple, low‐cost, and environmentally friendly approach to the synthesis of these materials.
