The invention provides a preparation method of an amorphous state carbon 
nano tube, which comprises the following steps of (1) enabling an attapulgite to be placed in a container for 
roasting at 200-500 DEG C and conducting thermal activating treatment or adding in 1 mol / L-5 mol / L acid for conducting acid activating treatment; (2) enabling 
activated attapulgite and 
carbon source materials to be added in water for evenly mixing according to the 
mass ratio of 1:1-3, enabling water solution of evenly mixed attapulgite-
carbon source material to be placed in a 
high pressure reactor which is placedin a homogeneous phase reactor, keeping warm at 130-180 DEG C for 6h-48h to obtain a precursor; and (3) enabling the precursor to fire for 3-6 hours at 600-900 DEG C under the 
atmosphere of N2 protection, enabling products to cool to reach 
room temperature along a furnace after firing, using 
hydrogen fluoride (HF) solution to fully wash, removing formworks in products, leaving carbon, using densehydrogen 
chloride (HCl) to wash and purify the carbon, finally using water to wash until neutral is achieved, filtering and stoving to obtain needed amorphous state carbon 
nano tube. The preparation method is wide in source of feed, low in price, simple in process flow, easy in process condition achieving, low in preparation cost, and good in prepared product performance.
