Would it be feasible to synthesize carbon nanotubes from a carbon gas source that had passed through a man crafted nanopores (nanoholes, nanochannels), the outflowing end of which is covered with a catalyst? This artificial membrane would separate gas source chamber from a product chamber. Intuitively (for a layman like me) such method could allow to obtain a uniform, pure, and high-quality product.
But after some web search I couldn't find anyone to employ such a method. The closest research I found were carbon nanotubes grown on a nanoporous alumina (i.e. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4147107/).
What is the main obstacle? Maybe producing such uniform and very deep nanopores, so the membrane would hold its weight and gas pressure?
Thanks in advance!
