Simultaneous Synthesis of Carbon Nanotubes and Nitrogen-Doped Fullerenes in Nitrogen Atmosphere

摘要: By arcing a graphite rod in pure nitrogen atmosphere, both carbon nanotubes and nitrogen-doped fullerenes have been synthesized simultaneously for the first time. Carbon are prepared much greater yield than when an inert gas is employed. Unusual structural features of observed by TEM imaging. In addition, were characterized through laser desorption mass spectrometry X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. 12 refs., 4 figs.
