Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a method for growing a carbon nanotube, and more particularly to a method for growing a single-walled carbon nanotube at a low temperature. [Prior Art] Single-walled nano-soil back pipe systems are widely used in many fields such as microelectronics, nanodevices, material synthesis, and hydrogen storage. In addition, since the 埸 emission domain voltage of a single-walled carbon nanotube is much lower than the 埸 emission domain voltage of a multi-walled carbon nanotube, a single-walled carbon nanotube is used as a ruthenium emission device of a ruthenium emission cathode. Operating at lower voltages, its power consumption is much lower than that of a multi-walled carbon nanotube used as a field emission cathode. According to the prior art, the method for growing single-walled carbon nanotubes mainly includes an arc method, a laser evaporation method, a solar energy method, and a catalytic pyrolysis method. Among them, the method suitable for large-scale growth of carbon nanotubes is catalytic pyrolysis, but the reaction temperature of such catalytic pyrolysis is generally high.
