This work provides a simple and scalable Co/SiO₂ catalyst for the production of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT). Detailed study revealed the active species is a highly dispersed surface cobalt silicate species, which is formed by the ligand exchange between the metal precursor and the silica support.
