The strong industrial interest in fullerenes stems from their unique combination of characteristics. As a carbon nanomaterial — a family that includes carbon nanotubes and graphene ...

For the transformation pathway, fullerenes are known to be a suitable ... a gaseous carbon source is dehydrogenated to form the nanotubes, generally at temperatures between 500 and 1,000 °C ...

Three additional forms of carbon that were discovered between 1985 and 2004 have caused the current excitement among researchers about carbon nanomaterials – fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and in ...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) come in a variety of diameters, lengths, and functional group content. CNTs today are available for industrial applications in bulk quantities of metric ton quantities. Several ...
