 Carbon nanomaterials have been extensively used in many applications owing to their unique thermal, electrical and mechanical properties. One of the prime challenges is the production of these nanomaterials on a large scale. This review paper summarizes the synthesis of various carbon nanomaterials via the chemical vapor deposition, CVD, method. These carbon nanomaterials include fluorines, carbon nanotubes, CNTs, carbon nanofibers, CNFs, graphene, carbide-derived carbon, CDC, carbon nano-onion, CNO, and emzines. Furthermore, current challenges in the synthesis and application of these nanomaterials are highlighted with suggested areas for future research. This article was authored by Yehia M.
