Keywords:arc discharge,hollow carbon nanosphere

Metal-induced nanomaterials encapsulated with graphitic carbon layer are one of the most extensively researched materials in the past twenty years, and have attracted considerable interest due to their strong potentials for catalysis, delivery system, nano-level storage, optical and electronic devices. Therefore, the development of new carbon materials with novel morphologies and structures is still of significant importance in the material sciences. Recently, much work have been done on the fabrication of copper-carbon nanomaterials. In this report, we synthesized copper initiated hollow carbon nanospheres by a direct current arc discharge method.
