1. A carbon nanotube growth process comprising:

  • depositing a catalyst precursor on a glass substrate, the catalyst precursor being deposited from a solution comprising water as a solvent;

    wherein the catalyst precursor is formed from a reaction between at least one transition metal salt and hydrogen peroxide in the solution from which the catalyst precursor is deposited; and

    after depositing the catalyst precursor, exposing the glass substrate to carbon nanotube growth conditions so as to grow carbon nanotubes thereon;

    wherein the catalyst precursor is converted into a catalyst that is operable for forming carbon nanotubes when exposed to the carbon nanotube growth conditions.
