Classification of carbon nanostructure families occurring in a chemically activated arc discharge reaction

Controlling the generation of empty cages, endohedral metallofullerenes and carbon nanotubes is an important challenge for the tailored synthesis of functional materials and their scaled up production. However, the reaction yields for fullerenes are low and their formation mechanism is far from bein...
