We present a review of the methods most frequently used for the synthesis of fullerenes and
the changes that these methods have experienced since 1985 when Kroto and co‐workers …

We review the principles of formation, physical properties, and current or envisaged
applications for a wide range of carbon allotropic forms. We discuss experimental and …

Although fullerenes can be efficiently generated from graphite in high yield, the route to the
formation of these symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing carbon cages from a flat graphene …

The dynamic self-assembly mechanism of fullerene molecules is an irreversible process
emerging naturally under the nonequilibrium conditions of hot carbon vapor and is a …

Tremendous advances in nanoscience have been made since the discovery of the
fullerenes; however, the formation of these carbon-caged nanomaterials still remains a …

Nowadays our planet suffers from an accumulation of plastic products that have the potential
to cause great harm to the environment in the form of air, water, and land pollution. Plastic …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and fullerenes play a major role in the physics and
chemistry of the interstellar medium (ISM). Based on a number of recent experimental and …

The possibility for double-wall carbon nanotube to operate as the bolt and nut pair is
studied. The barriers for relative motions of walls along the helical “thread” line and for …

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are elongated cylindrical nanoobjects made of
sp 2 carbon. Their diameter is 3–30 nm and they can grow several cm long, thus their aspect …

Nitrogen-doped onion-like carbon was synthesized using an arc discharge in a liquid phase
in the presence of different ammonia concentrations. The nitrogen-doped onion-like carbon …
