Carbon nanotubes play a fundamental role in the rapidly developing field of nanoscience and nanotechnology because of their unique properties and high potential applictions. In this article, the different synthesis method of CNTs are reviewed. From the industrial point of view, the chemical vapor depostion method has shown advantages over electric arc discharge and laser vaporization methods. Special CNTs configuration, such as nanocoils, nanohorns, bamboo-shaped CNTs and carbon cylinder made up from from CNTs are also discussed.
