CARBON NANOHORN ADSORBENT AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new carbon nanohorn adsorbent which does not require a high temperature treatment, is light in weight and chemically stable and can selectively adsorb a molecule by its molecular sieve effect and to provide a method for producing the adsorbent. SOLUTION: The carbon nanohorn adsorbent comprises an aggregate of monolayer carbon nanohorns and pores of a controlled diameter have been made in the walls and tips of the monolayer carbon nanohorns.
