Preparation of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes from Starch by Arc Discharge

Article Preview

Abstract:

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have been successfully prepared from starch by arc discharge technique. The SWNTs products were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The growth mechanism of the SWNTs was discussed in terms of the starch. The results demonstrate that starch is one of the suitable precursor for making SWNTs by arc discharge method.
