Abstract
Onion-like fullerenes (OLFs) were synthesized by arc discharge in benzene using graphite as electrode and ferrocene as catalyst. The effect of ferrocene on the morphologies and structures of the OLFs was investigated by HRTEM and XRD. Results show that ferrocene directly influenced the morphology and yield of OLFs: The degree of graphitization is better. The diameters of the OLFs can be controlled in the range between 10 and 30 nm The method described here suggests a novel and promising route to synthesize OLFs in large scales.
