Structure State of Carbon Nanomaterials Produced by High-Energy Electric Discharge Techniques

Abstract

Abstract New technologies were developed for the manufacture of a wide spectrum of carbon nanomaterials, such as fullerene-like C60-C70 clusters, nanotubes, nanodiamonds and amorphous carbon, using electrical wire explosion and electric breakdown of organic liquids techniques. The influence of the synthesis parameters on phase composition and structure of the nanomaterials produced have been investigated.
