An alternative method for the synthesis of single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is presented, which is based on the co‐evaporation of a pure graphite body and a metal catalyst (nickel). The graphite body is inductively heated in a high frequency furnace up to ~2400 °C. Characterization of the produced soot was performed using SEM, TEM and Raman spectroscopy techniques.
