Description

The influence of diamond on carbon nanostructure formation in the arc discharge was investigated. The use of the electrodes made of graphite mixed with diamond micro-crystals and small admixture of catalysts (Ni, Co and Y) enhances the production of single-walled carbon nanotubes. The nanotubes form a web-like product. The presence of diamond drastically decreases the anode erosion rate, and thereby the C2 radical content in the arc plasma zone, while the average plasma temperature remains unchanged (Authors)
