The kinetics of the formation of carbon nanotubes on a catalyst during the pyrolysis of carbon-containing gases is rather peculiar and little studied. Its main provisions proposed in the literature are debatable. The complexity of studying the kinetics of NT synthesis is confirmed by the use of about 10 parameters when creating a model. The kinetic regularities of the formation of carbon nanotubes during the pyrolysis of methane are studied in terms of the yield of carbon at the optimal composition of the catalyst.
