Multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and nitrogen‐doped carbon (CNx) nanotubes have been synthesized by the aerosol‐assisted chemical vapour deposition (CVD) method. The samples were prepared from toluene and acetonitrile taken in different proportion. The structure of CNTs and CNx nanotubes was compared using first‐ and second‐order Raman spectra. The disorder‐induced D band was found to up‐shift with increase of the acetonitrile fraction. The ID/IG and IG′/IG ratios showed the opposite dependence on the doping level of CNTs. Both kinds of the substitute nitrogen: graphitic‐like and pyridinic‐like contribute to the disorder in CNx nanotube layers. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
