Abstract: The catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) method is frequently used to produce carbon nanomaterials, which are characterized by unique properties. Such materials are applied in various fields of science and technology, and their attractiveness grows year by year. Both the size and chemical, and phase composition of the catalysts are responsible for their activity and stability. In some cases, amorphous carbon being formed blocks the active sites and thus interrupts the CCVD process. On the other hand, the metal dusting process, known as a negative phenomenon causing the destruction of the industrial metal reactors, has started to be considered as a preparative route to obtain active and stable CCVD catalysts from bulk metal precursors. The present paper is aimed to demonstrate the current state of art in the claimed field of science.
