Abstract

Synthesis of onion-like fullerenes was carried out by chemical vapor deposition in a tubular furnace using iron catalyst supported on aluminum hydroxide at 400°C, 460°C, 600°C, 700°C, 800°C, 900°C and 1000°C, respectively, in the presence of argon as carrier gas and acetylene as the carbon source. The samples synthesized were characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and the effects of temperature on the morphologies of the samples were investigated. The results show that the onion-like fullerenes prepared at the low temperature 400°C had the highest purity and good quality.
