The methods of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) growth inside nanoporous materials are among the best candidates to fabricate CNTs with controlled geometrical parameters. We report obtaining CNTs by pyrolysis of sugar water and show that this chemical reaction is better suited for various applications than other known template methods. The diameter of the obtained CNTs, their alignment, and the distance between them can be controlled by choosing the bendable nanoporous template (chrysotile). Electron microscopy shows good crystalline quality of the obtained approximately 10 μm long CNTs after the template etching. Quasi-metallic transport is observed in this material after annealing CNTs under inert atmosphere.
