  In this study, kinetic model for decomposition of acetylene for the production of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been explored. The kinetics model described the CNTs growth in the chemical vapour deposition (CVD) reactor while Arrhenius equation was employed for the determination of the activation energy. The result of the analysis shows activation energy of 237.2483 kJmol-1 which is an indication that the reaction that leads to the production of CNTs is adsorption inclined. The observed frequency factor shows that the reactants’ particles collide at faster rate which enhances CNTs growth. The prepared CNTs were characterized using high resolution scanning electron microscope/high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRSEM/HRTEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), energy dispersive spectroscope (EDS) and Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET) method for morphology, crystall..
