4.1 Molten Salt Production of Carbon Nanotubes

Fig. 4.2 a Electrochemical cell developed for the fabrication of differing nanostructured carbon
materials from an identical graphite raw material in the LiCl melt. b Different processing conditions,
in terms of the chemical composition of the gas entering the reactor. c Photographs of a typical
graphite rod which is used as the carbon source, before and after being cathodically polarized in
the LiCl melt, as well as the graphene powder produced by the exfoliation of the graphite material
stored in a jar [1–5], reproduced from Ref. [1], copyright 2019, with permission from Elsevier
