Fabrication of carbon nanostructures by pulsed electric discharge between metal electrodes using fluorine-containing organic liquid
The carbon nanotube and carbon nanoparticle that contain fluorine on the surface were prepared by the pulsed electric discharge in fluorine-containing organic liquid. The production rate of carbon nanostructures by this method was found to be about 50 times faster than that by the "arc in liquid" method previously reported.
