Microwave Plasma Based Single-Step Method for Generation of Carbon Nanostructures

Abstract

Plasma environments constitute powerful tools in materials science due to their operation as thermal and chemical reactors. A microwave, atmospheric argon plasma driven by surface waves has been used for synthesizing carbon nanostructures by passing vaporized ethanol through the plasma. Graphene sheets and carbon nanoparticles have been selectively synthesized through the control of the outlet plasma stream temperature.
