Abstract

In this paper, we present a method for macroscopic synthesis of onion-like graphitic particles, which may be used to study physical properties. This method is based on annealing carbon nanotubes under high pressure. By transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the microstructure of carbon nanotubes is found to transform into quasi-spherical graphitic structures when the sample has been treated at 770 °C and 950 °C under 5.5 GPa. The high pressure assumes an important role in this transformation.
