✦ Synopsis

In summary, we have reported for the first time, the growth of carbon nanowalls. Nanowalls may find applications in field emission displays and energy storage due to their large surface areas. It has been pointed out both theoretically and experimentally that the electric field may play an important role in determining the form of the carbon deposited by MPECVD. Modification of the equipment is underway so as to achieve more flexible control of the carbon growth, through controlling the local electric field. This type of nanostructure may find applications in batteries, light-emitting and conversion devices, catalysts, and other areas requiring high surface area materials.
