We develop the universal technique of producing the mesoporous carbon nanomaterials. We manage to synthesize, in one and the same reactor, in the different regimes, carbon nanotubes and graphene. The technique consists in conversion of the carbon containing substances in the helium plasma flow generated by the plasma torch at low pressure. We investigate the samples using the scanning electron microscope and the synchronous thermal analysis. The studies, by the limited evaporation method, of the porous structure show that the graphene flakes and the balled nanotubes are mesoporous and thus provide the specific capacity value rather high for the electrochemical electrodes of the supercapacitor (125–133 F/g) at the charging/discharging resistance of 121/100 Ω.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
