Abstract

Carbon hollow spheres (400–600 nm) and vessels (400 nm × 3000 nm) have been synthesized from sp³-CCl₄ at 190 and 230 °C, respectively. The HRTEM images and Raman spectra reveal the sp² nature of the as-obtained products, indicating that the transformation from carbon sp³ to sp² occurs in the reactions. The possible mechanism has also been proposed.
