The columnlet model enables describing distribution function of Cgraphene clusters by size. From purely geometrical considerations the columnlet （Cgraphene）, bundlet （single-wall carbon nanotube）, CNT （carbon nanotube）, SWNT （single-wall C-nanotube）, and carbon nanobud, CNB （carbon nanobud）） and droplet （fullerene） models predict dissimilar behaviours. The interaction-energy parameters of Cgraphene are taken from C60. An CNB behaviour or further is expected. The decay of solubility with rising temperature is smaller for Cgraphene than for SWNT and CNB and, furthermore, than for C60, in agreement with lesser numbers of units in Cgraphene clusters. The discrepancy between the experimental data of the heat of solution of fullerenes, CNTs, CNBs and graphenes is ascribed to the sharp concentration dependence of the heat of solution. The diffusion coefficient drops with temperature result greater for Cgraphene than CNB and SWNT than C60 corresponding to lesser number of units in clusters. The aggregates near （C60）13, SWNT/CNB7 and （Cgraphene）3 could be representative of the droplet, bundlet and columnlet models.展开更多
