The morphology of the carbon nano onion-like fullerenes was examined and characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). It can be seen that the nano-sized, onion-like fullerenes possess high degree of graphization. The results suggested that the catalyst is the main factor affecting the size and yield of the fullerenes. The method is very promising for simple mass production.展开更多

The product was refluxed in 36% concentrated HCl at 60℃ for 48 h in order to re-move the catalyst support. The samples were examined by scanning and high resolution transmission electron microscopy,energy dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The results show that nano onion-like fullerenes encapsulating a Fe3C core were obtained. These had a structure of stacked graphitic fragments,with diameters ranging from 15―50 nm. When the product was further heat-treated at 1100℃ for 2 h,nano onion-like fullerenes with a clear concentric graphitic layer structure were obtained. The growth mechanism of nano onion-like fullerenes encapsulating metal cores is suggested to follow a vapor-solid growth model.展开更多
