What is it about?
The present study deals with the systematic study of the synthesis of various useful carbon nanostructures e.g. single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and graphene in large quantity by electrical arc discharge method by only varying the argon atmosphere pressure. A one step method is reported for the decoration of the graphene nanosheets with iron and nickel nanoparticles through arc discharge method.

Why is it important?
The building and organization of nanotubes architectures are of equally important in order to realize the full potential of CNTs in integrated systems. SWCNTs (buckybook like structure) have been synthesized using Fe as catalyst by arc discharge of graphite electrodes in argon atmosphere without using any substrate. To the best of our knowledge, there is no study present in the literature in which decoration of graphene nanosheet was being done in situ in arc discharge technique.
Perspectives
We hope this research article will be helpful for material scientists. The as-synthesized CNTs web and graphene material will be useful in the field of nanotechnology basically in electronics.
