Direct thermal fluorination of single wall carbon nanohorns
Article Abstract:
The fluorination of Single Wall Carbon Nano Horn (SWNH), performed by the thermal reaction between 303K to 473 K with elemental fluorine, is presented. The detailed analyses on SWNH fluorinated at 473K reveals that it can adsorb N2 molecules on the internal surfaces of nanohorns through the nanowindows.

Controlled opening of single-wall carbon nanohorns by heat treatment in carbon dioxide
Article Abstract:
The opening of bud-type single-wall carbon nanohorns (SWNHs) by heat treatment in CO2 was studied by TEM and nitrogen adsorption (77 K). The adsorption isotherms indicate that oxidation by CO2 at 1273 K provides a sufficient nanohorn opening.

Micrometer-sized graphitic balls produced together with single-wall carbon nanohorns
Article Abstract:
New types of particles with micrometer-order sizes, which are called as giant graphitic balls (GG balls), are reported. The GG balls are produced by CO2 laser ablation of graphite together with single-wall carbon nanohorns.
