The present invention describes the preparation of carbon nanotubes of varied morphology, catalyst materials for their synthesis. The present invention also describes reactor appa ratus and methods of optimizing and controlling process parameters for the manufacture carbon nanotubes with pre determined morphologies in relatively high purity and in high yields. In particular, the present invention provides methods for the preparation of non-aligned carbon nano tubes with controllable morphologies, catalyst materials and methods for their manufacture.
