From the technological point of view, the synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) aims at optimizing their field emission properties. Among all the synthesis methods, the CVD method is the most suitable for the growth of carbon nanotubes. In this method, transition metal atoms (Fe, Ni, Co) are used. The carbon nanotubes obtained with these transition metals present some major defects associated with some rather complex purification conditions. Starting from the fact that the electronegative atom (oxygen) participates in the promotion of the adsorption of the alkenes on the dense faces of the transition metals, this leads to think that the deposition of oxygen on transition metal catalyst before the CVD synthesis would weaken the bond between the graphitic surfaces and the transition particles. The interaction of electronegative atoms (oxygen) with transition metal particles prior to the CVD process results in a removal of charge from the metal atoms that results in a change in the d-band surface density, thereby lowering the amount of charge density in the mixed catalyst formed. This charge density could have interacted further with donation, and retro-donation of the alkene and back to the alkyne atoms during and after the CVD process. This oxygen-transition metal interaction is described in the framework of the Dewar-Chatt- Duncanson (DCD) model. It is expected that the carbon nanotubes thus obtained will have minor defects, have a somewhat reduced height, be of better quality compared to those obtained without promotion and allow easier purification conditions, while considering a popcorn model to lift the catalyst particles by thermal stirring. The expected experimental results can be verified using surface analysis techniques such as vibrational spectroscopy through the shifts of the band transitions that occur, photoelectron spectroscopy for resonance line position shifts.
