Abstract :
We have found a new type of carbon particle produced by the CO2 laser ablation of carbon at room temperature without a metal catalyst. The product has a powder form of graphitic particles with a uniform size of about 80 nm. An individual particle is composed of an aggregate of many horn-shaped sheaths of single-walled graphene sheets, which we named carbon nano-horns. The nano-horns can be produced at about 10 g/h.
