Several methods are employed to synthesize carbon nanomaterials, including:
1. Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): This is a widely used method for producing high-quality CNTs and graphene. 2. Arc Discharge: Used for the synthesis of fullerenes and CNTs, this method involves an electric arc between two carbon electrodes. 3. Laser Ablation: A laser is used to vaporize carbon atoms from a target, leading to the formation of nanomaterials.
