"Water-assisted highly efficient
synthesis of impurity-free single-walled carbon nanotubes,"
by Kenji Hata and 5 others, Science, 306(5700): 1362-4, 19 November
2004.

Abstract:
"We demonstrate the efficient chemical vapor deposition synthesis of
single-walled carbon nanotubes where the activity and lifetime of the
catalysts are enhanced by water. Water-stimulated enhanced catalytic activity
results in massive growth of superdense and vertically aligned nanotube
forests with heights up to 2.5 millimeters that can be easily separated from
the catalysts, providing nanotube material with carbon purity above 99.98%.
Moreover, patterned, highly organized intrinsic nanotube structures were
successfully fabricated. The water-assisted synthesis method addresses many
critical problems that currently plague carbon nanotube synthesis."
