English abstract A stainless steel core catalyst with several green precursors, butanol, diethyl ether, ethyl acetate and hexane, were used to obtain multi-walled carbon nanotubes via chemical vapor deposition. Argon was used as carrier gas at 50-90 ml/min rates. Samples were synthetized at 680-850 ºC, according to the precursor used. The characterization techniques were scanning electronic microscopy, X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive, Fourier transformed infrared and Raman spectroscopy. The micrographs showed tangled carbon nanotubes formation with different diameters from 50-300 nm. Elemental analysis indicated carbon atomic percentages ranging from 93-99 %, 1.0-4.5 % iron and less than 1% of manganese, chrome and silicon. X-Ray diffraction demonstrated the characteristic carbon nanotubes peak (002) at 26°. G and D carbon nanotubes distinctive bands were confirmed by Raman spectra for all samples
