    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for continuously synthesizing carbon nanotubes using a plasma treated catalyst. The method for continuously synthesizing carbon nanotubes comprises: a plasma treating step of preparing metal nanoparticles by plasma treating metal salts in an H2 or NH3 atmosphere; a first mixture preparing step of preparing an emulsion mixture by mixing a solvent and a surfactant; a second mixture preparing step of preparing a second mixture by mixing the emulsion mixture and a carrier gas; and a reacting step of forming carbon nanotubes by introducing the second mixture and metal nanoparticles into a heated reactor. Accordingly, the catalyst can be prepared by reducing metal salts at a relatively low temperature and in a shorter time, the yield of the carbon nanotubes can be increased, and the diameter of the carbon nanotubes can be uniformly controlled, thereby enabling an economical and mass production of carbon nanotubes.
