Introduction

In1985,ProfessorKroto,aspectrographerfromtheUniversityofSussexintheUnitedKingdomandProfessorSmalleyandCurlfromRiceUniversityintheUnitedStates,foundthatcarboncanbeformedbyC60andC70moleculeswithahighlysymmetricalcagestructurecomposedof60or70carbonatomsarecalledBuckyballs.In1991,Iijima,aJapaneseNECscientist,usedahigh-resolutiontunnelelectronmicroscopeforthefirsttimeinthepreparationofC60cathodescarsanddiscoveredacarbonwithanouterdiameterof515nmandaninnerdiameterof213nm,whichiscomposedofonlytwolayersofcoaxialgraphite-likecylindricalsurfaces.nanotube.Thenin1993,theresearchteamofIijimaandBethunesimultaneouslyreportedthesynthesisofsingle-walledcarbonnanotubeswithaverysimplestructure,whichprovidedexperimentalpossibilitiesfortheoreticalpredictionoftheperformanceofcarbonnanotubes,andfurtherbroadenedtherangeofcarbonclustermaterials.Ithasalsogreatlypromotedthetheoreticalandexperimentalresearchoncarbonnanotubes,makingthisfieldahotspotinglobalresearchtoday.
