Abstract

When a turbulent gas flow and a hollow electrode are combined in a discharge chamber, a synergetic effect is observed: the weight of the deposit decreases by five to six times and fullerene-containing soot dissolves completely (without precipitation) in benzene. The mass spectra of the synthesis products contain the lines of C60, C70, and C74 + 2n (n = 0–40) fullerenes. This indicates a 100% yield of the fullerene mixture. As a result, the output of the fullerene synthesis process increases by a factor of more than 10.
