Abstract
, from nucleation to elongation and ultimately termination. We also examine the dynamic behaviors of catalyst nanoparticles and chirality-controlled growth processes, emphasizing how these insights contribute to advancing the field. Finally, in the concluding section, we propose future directions for advancements of computational approaches toward deeper understanding of CNT growth mechanisms and better support of CNT manufacturing.
