Abstract
A method for forming carbon nanostructures is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: (a) synthesising a microporous template material comprising crystals having no dimension greater than about 2 μm, (b) heating the crystals in the presence of an inert gas or a mixture of an inert gas and a carbon-containing gas at a temperature of between 500° C. and 900° C., and (c) recovering carbon nanostructures by washing the heated crystals in an acid to remove the template material.
