Abstract

Monodispersed nanospheres of carbon are obtained by the pyrolysis of methane or benzene at high temperatures in the presence of hydrogen without the use of any catalyst. Carbonization of these hydrocarbons over transition metal powders (for example Ni) or supported metal catalysts, however, yields carbon nanotubes.
