Carbon Nanostructures Production by AC Arc Discharge Plasma Process at Atmospheric Pressure

Carbon Nanostructures Production by AC Arc Discharge Plasma Process at Atmospheric Pressure

Carbon nanostructures have received much attention for a wide range of applications. In this paper, we produced carbon nanostructures by decomposition of benzene using AC arc discharge plasma process at atmospheric pressure. Discharge was carried out at a voltage of 380 V, with a current of 6 A–20 A...

The results show that the products on the inner wall of the reactor and the sand core are nanoparticles with 20–60 nm diameter, and the products on the electrode ends are nanoparticles, agglomerate carbon particles, and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs).
