Claims8
A carbon-based nanomaterial composition formed from a forming mixture comprising a gas mixture and a boron powder,
- wherein the gas mixture comprises a carbon-based gas, oxygen, and hydrogen gas,
- wherein the carbon-based nanomaterial composition comprises carbon-based nanospheres doped with boron,
- wherein the carbon-based nanomaterial composition consists essentially of:
- a carbon content of at least about 95 atomic percent (at, %) and not greater than about 97 at. % based on elemental analysis of the carbon-based nanomaterial composition conducted using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS);
- an oxygen content of at least about 0.5 at. % and not greater than about 2.5 at. % based on elemental analysis of the carbon-based nanomaterial composition conducted using XPS;
- and
- a boron content of at least about 2 at. % and not greater than about 4 at. % based on elemental analysis of the carbon-based nanomaterial composition conducted using XPS;
- and
- wherein the carbon-based nanomaterial composition has a carbon hybridization ratio Psp3/Psp2 of at least about 4.0 and not greater than about 5.0, where Psp3 is the percent of carbon within the carbon-based nanomaterial composition having a sp3 hybridization and Psp2 is the percent of carbon within the carbon-based nanomaterial composition having a sp2 hybridization.
