A carbon-based nanomaterial composition formed from a forming mixture comprising a gas mixture and a silicon dioxide powder,
- wherein the gas mixture comprises a carbon-based gas, an oxygen gas, and a hydrogen gas,
- wherein the carbon-based nanomaterial composition comprises silicon dioxide doped nanospheres, and
- wherein the carbon-based nanomaterial composition comprises a carbon hybridization ratio Psp3/Psp2 of at least about 4.0, 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.
A carbon-based nanomaterial composition comprising:
- silicon dioxide doped nanospheres,
- a carbon content of at least about 60 at. % and not greater than about 99 at. % based on elemental analysis of the carbon-based nanomaterial composition,
- an oxygen content of at least about 1 at. % and not greater than about 35 at. % based on elemental analysis of the carbon-based nanomaterial composition, and
