APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING CARBON NANOMATERIAL, AND USE THEREOF

摘要

The present disclosure provides a method for producing carbon nanoparticles at low cost and with good efficiency. According to the disclosure of the present description, a voltage is applied between a graphite positive electrode 22 and a negative electrode 24 in an aqueous medium 20 to generate arc discharge in a gap 34. An inert gas is introduced into the gap 34 from a cylinder bottle 28 at a predetermined flow rate. In this manner, carbon nanoparticles can be produced from carbon steam that is generated in the gap as a result of the arc discharge.
