Abstract:
1. A method for preparing a carbon nano-particle that has a graphitic bonding structure and a mean particle diameter between 1 and 50 nm comprising (A) adding 0.01 through 0.9 mol of a surfactant to water in a thermostat reactor set between 1 and 40° C. and then agitating to form micells with a mean diameter between 1 and 50 nm; (B) slowly dropping a monomer into the water and dissolving the same to introduce the monomer into the micells; (C) adding a catalyst into the water to polymerize the monomer in the micell; (D) destroying the micells to recover a polymer nano-particle with a mean particle diameter between 1 and 50 nm; and (E) carbonizing the polymer nano-particle between 600 and 1200° C. under an inert environment to prepare a carbon nano-particle.
