In this work, a simple and viable method of green synthesis of multi-walled cobalt doped argininecarbon nanotubes (CNT’s) by chemical precipitation method using arginine amino acid is reported.The atomic force microscopy confirmed that metal ions present in a branched fashion on the surfaceof Co-doped arginine CNT’s and the obtained particle with diameter 20 nm well dispersed on thecarbon nanotubes. The TEM analysis indicates the interlayer separation between the two adjacent carbonwalls is estimated to be about 0.34 nm. The electron diffraction patterns indicate that the tube has nearlyidentical chirality for all of the concentric graphitic layers, as a zigzag-type MWCNT. The SEManalysis predicted tube like morphology and strain is existed on the surface of the CNTs. The Ramanspectra confirmed the armchair (n = 8 to 11) multi-walled nanotubes with this chirality are assigned asa semiconducting type of nanotubes. The thermal property was studied by thermogravimetric analysis,differential thermal analysis and predicted the 27.81 % purity in CNTs.
