Abstract: Nano-structured onion-like fullerenes (NSOFs) were synthesized from C2H2 carbon black/ferrocene by microwave plasma. High resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), Raman and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques were used to characterize the morphologies and structures of the products. Results indicated that NSOFs could be prepared from C2H2 carbon black/ferrocene. The particles displayed a clear polyhedral or spherical morphology, with cores and waving out layers.

Key words: nano-structured onion-like fullerenes, microwave plasma, carbon black
