Abstract

A method based on the decomposition of phenylacetylene and thiophene on a Ni-powder catalyst has been used to produce nanotubes, circular hollow structures, and other interesting graphitic morphologies. The structures obtained are analyzed using HREM. The stability of bent graphite sheets is studied.
