Abstract EN
Carbon nanostructures have received much attention for a wide range of applications.
In this paper, we produced carbon nanostructures by decomposition of benzene using AC arc discharge plasma process at atmospheric pressure.
Discharge was carried out at a voltage of 380 V, with a current of 6 A–20 A.
The products were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Raman spectra.
The results show that the products on the inner wall of the reactor and the sand core are nanoparticles with 20–60 nm diameter, and the products on the electrode ends are nanoparticles, agglomerate carbon particles, and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs).
The maximum yield content of carbon nanotubes occurs when the arc discharge current is 8 A.
Finally, the reaction mechanism was discussed.
