Preparation of carbon spheres composed of entangled fibers at low temperature
In this paper, we report a new mild reaction route to prepare carbon spheres composed of entangled fibers. The reaction was carried out at 250degreesC for 24h using sodium and polytetrafluorethylene as reactants and benzene as solvent. A possible formation mechanism is proposed.
