Abstract: This review is about the synthesis of different types of carbon nanostructures by Radio Frequency Plasma Enhanced Chemical vapor deposition (RF-PECVD) and its feasibility to grow variety of carbon nanostructures and their features. A variety of carbon nanostructures like carbon nanosheets, carbon nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, nanoellipse like structures, nanorods and other islands like carbon nanostructures were grown at possibly low synthesis temperatures was reported at various international and national level journals is a part of my own research work. With the mission of make benefit for the easy understanding of the graduate students, scholars, academicians and researchers, it is presenting as a review report. In this report, first section contains a review on different types of synthesis techniques and their failure in the growth of pure, individual and aligned carbon nanostructures at low synthesis temperatures and the feasibility of RF-PECD in the growth of carbon nanostructures for full filing the above-mentioned requirements is discussed. Second section deals about the RF-PECVD technic and it’s inbuilt facilities for the growth of carbon nanostructures compared to the other techniques. Third section presents about the different types of grown carbon nanostructures during the period of my own research work using RF-PECVD. Fourth section presents about the applications of these carbon nanostructures in various fields.
