In order to demonstrate the thickness of the carbonaceous coating layer can be
well controlled by tuning catalytic conversion temperature or time, the corresponding
control experiments were carried out. From the TEM images of the CNFWs-500-5
and CNFWs-700-2 and the TEM images of the CNFWs (Fig. 4 and Fig. S5) in the
following measurement, different thickness of the carbon walls with about 8 nm, 5 nm
and 3 nm were obtain, exhibiting the accurate controllability of the thickness of the
carbon layer by our method.
