Owing to their remarkable properties and ordered architecture, vertically aligned CNT forests (VACNT) hold promises for countless applications ranging from energy storage to multifunctional fiber production. Over the last three decades, studies of carbon nanotube (CNT) growth have provided invaluable insight into the CNT nucleation and growth mechanism and enabled critical advancements in nanotechnology. Nevertheless, the ability to fully harness the exceptional VACNT properties in commercial devices is bottlenecked by compatibility of current CNT synthesis processes with large-scale manufacturing. Metal foil substrates present an economic alternative to traditional insulating substrates, like silicon or quartz, and are compatible with both roll-to-roll and automated, large-scale, batch processes. Compared to CNT growth on Si substrates, metal foils present additional challenges, such as increased roughness and reactivity at high temperatures. Nonetheless, many successful VACNT growths on conducting metal foils have been reported, which demonstrate the feasibility of metal substrate use for large-volume production of high-quality CNTs. Here, in this review, we discuss advancements in the field of VACNT growth on metal foil and specifically examine different choices for metal substrates, barrier and catalyst layers, deposition and growth methods, resulting CNT characteristics, and highlight a number of applications that benefit from CNT growth on metal substrates and transition to large-scale manufacturing.
