Production of Carbon Clusters by Means of Arc Discharge and Their Application. 2. Production of Endohedral Metallofullerenes via DC-Arc Discharge.

Arc Discharge Instalation for Fullerene Production

Fullerenes, a new form of carbon, were discovered in 1985 [1] in graphite vaporization under inert gas at low pressure. Fullerenes have many properties different from either diamond or graphite. Potential applications include superconductors, sensors, catalysts, optical and electronic devices, polymer composites, high-energy fuels and biological and medical materials. But wide application of fu...

The Synthesis of Carbon Nano Tubes by Arc Discharge Method in Liquid media

In this investigation a simplified arc discharge apparatus was used to synthesize mullti-wall carbon nanotubes. Because of not requiring vacuum equipment, heat exchange system, active or inert gases, this method is found to be cheaper and simpler than traditional arc discharge in gas environment. Using this method, CNTs are produced by performing an arc discharge between two graphite electrodes...
