Synthesis of Cobalt-Encapsulated Carbon Nanocapsules Using Cobalt-Doped Fullerene Nanowhiskers

Figure 5

Variation in the diameter of the carbon nanocapsules and the encapsulated clusters and the thickness of graphitic layers in Co-encapsulated carbon nanocapsules with heating temperature. The encapsulated clusters are hexagonal-closed-packed Co (the open triangles in the middle frame) at 873–1173 K and orthorhombic Co2C (the filled triangles in the middle frame) at 1273 K.
