CARBON NANOSTRUCTURES ON NANOSTRUCTURES AND METHOD OF PRODUCING SAME

摘要

A nanostructure, and method for producing a nanostructure, comprised of a primary layered non-cylindrical nanostructure support and at least one type of secondary substantially graphitic nanostructure grown therefrom. Both the primary layered nanostructure support and the layered substantially graphitic secondary nanostructure are substantially crystalline, wherein the secondary nanostructure, which will preferably be carbon, has a smaller diameter than the primary non-cylindrical nanostructure.
