I have synthesized carbon particles using acetylene by the non-thermal plasma synthesis ( Article Nonthermal Plasma Synthesis of Nanocrystals: Fundamental Pri...
). But ultimately I want a graphitic carbon shell, but am not sure how to convert what I have to what I want. Any help would be appreciated. If there is another method to directly make the graphitic particles without making the carbon particles at all, I am ready to go with that also.
