A method of massively synthesizing double-walled carbon nanotubes is
provided. In the method, catalyst metal particles having a size of a few
nanometers are embedded in nano pores of a support material powder. Then,
the support material powder embedding the catalyst metal particles is
sintered at a temperature of 700-900.degree. C. Then, the support
material powder embedding the catalyst metal particles is loaded in a
reactor. Thereafter, high purity double-walled carbon nanotubes are
formed massively by vaporizing a carbon source solution at a temperature
of 700-1100.degree. C. and supplying the vaporized carbon source gas, or
by directly supplying a carbon source gas to the reactor.
