Plasma-chemical synthesis of nanomaterials is becoming more and more developed every year. One approach to plasma-chemical synthesis is the use of an electric arc discharge. The high temperatures of the discharge plasma lead to the dispersion of the consumed electrodes and the formation of a gaseous plasma-chemical system. Further expansion of the components of this mixture in the reactor chamber leads to the processes of mixing with a buffer gas, cooling, condensation, and formation of the structure of nanomaterials. In this case, the structure and composition of the formed nanomaterials strongly depend on both the composition of the plasma-chemical system and the cooling rate during expansion. [1] The most common use of carbon as a sputtered material leads to the formation of such carbon nanostructures as fullerenes, [2] graphene flakes. [3] It is known that the addition of elements such as Sn, [4] Pt, [5] Pd [6] to carbon in a plasmachemical system leads to the formation of spherical metal nanoparticles packed in a carbon matrix. The addition of such elements as W, [7] Al, [8] Fe [9] to the plasma-chemical system leads to the formation of carbide nanoparticles in the carbon matrix. In addition, the presence of certain elements affects the formation of the carbon structure itself. Thus, the presence of hydrogen, [10] oxygen, [11] or silicon [12,13] in a plasma-chemical system leads to the formation of the structure of graphene flakes. The presence of nanoparticles of the iron family (Fe, [14] Co, [15] Ni [16] ) stimulates the formation of carbon nanotubes.The processes occurring during the interaction of metal and carbon depend on such factors as the affinity of the metal to carbon, the crystal structure of metals, the ability and enthalpy of formation of carbides, the solubility of carbon in the crystal lattice, etc. The most widely studied interaction is the heating of carbon with nickel, cobalt and iron, which are well saturated with carbon and lead to graphitization of the carbon structure, while the interaction with metals such as copper or titanium does not lead to graphitization. [17] Another important factor is the size of the metal particles. Due to the large ratio of surface to bulk atoms, the melting temperature in nanoscale structures decreases and the solubility of carbon increases. [18][19][20] In this case, the graphitization of amorphous carbon in the presence of nickel nanoparticles occurs at a much lower temperature (250-300 °C) compared to bulk particles (600 °C). [21] The interaction of metal nanoparticles with carbon has been extensively studied in the field of carbon nanotube (CNT) synthesis. The mechanisms of CNT formation in the course of plasma-chemical synthesis include the formation of a carbon-saturated metal particle in the gas atmosphere, which, upon cooling, releases carbon on the surface in the form of CNTs. [22] This mechanism in a more developed form was called vapor-liquid-solid (VLS), and describes in more detail that the metal catalyst in the solid state poorly adsorbs molec...
