Abstract:The article discusses the results of experimental synthesis of fullerenoids from naturally occurring biogenic materials. Mechanical activation of amorphous carbon derived from Sphagnum moss (Sphagnum fuscum) turns it into carbon nanotubes. It is shown that conditions approximating those in the experiment can be generated in settings of active continental margins and intracontinental rifting when lava flows into the basins where sapropels deposited.
