Abstract

A new synthesis method of nanomaterials using pulsed plasma in liquid by the low voltage spark discharge is presented. The fullerene C60 and TiO nanopowder were for the first time synthesized by electric discharge method in liquid. The purity of C60 was >99%, which is much higher than those by the conventional arc plasma in inert gas methods (less than 80% C60 and 20% C70 and other fullerenes). Copper nanoparticles prepared by this method were smaller than those by arc method by a factor of >5. The pulsed plasma in liquid enables us to quench from plasma state, by which we can synthesize nanomaterials, metastable materials, etc. In addition, the applied power is 100 times smaller than those of arc discharge.
