A method and apparatus for synthesis of fullerenes and nanotubes in large quantities at an economical cost from graphite in electric arc plasma process are presented. Different embodiments of channeled graphite electrodes for both direct current (DC) and alternative current (AC) processes are disclosed. High productivity of the carbon allotropes is achieved by feeding consumable graphitic electrode into hot plasma zone, injecting of feedstock, catalyst and buffer gas flow through the longitudinal inner channel electrodes into the hot plasma zone and creating the radial gas outflow in the gap between electrodes, and following removal of produced carbon and catalytic vapors from the hot plasma zone into an oxygen deprived reaction vessel for quenching and condensing. Deposited after condensation soot containing carbon allotropes is collected and carbon allotropes are recovered by known techniques. The final products of recovering are fullerenes C₆₀, C₇₀ and higher fullerenes or nanotubes.

A method for preparing carbon allotrope based sulfide detectors comprising first functionalizing a carbon allotrope, such as a single-walled carbon nanotubes or graphene, with a solution of a polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon-sulfonic acid, such as 1-pyrenesulfonic acid, followed by treatment with a metal, such as gold nanowires or cupric salt doped polyaniline, to give a metal-functionalized carbon allotrope, then drop casting the metal-functionalized carbon allotrope onto an inert surface, such as a silicon dioxide film on a silicon wafer having electrodes. Detection of sulfides may be by means such as photochemical or conductance methods. The hydrogen sulfide detectors may be used to detect and/or quantitate ppb and ppm levels of hydrogen sulfide in industrial settings or in detecting halitosis.

A process for depositing nanometer-sized metal particles onto a substrate in the absence of aqueous solvents, organic solvents, and reducing agents, and without any required pretreatment of the substrate, includes preparing an admixture of a metal compound and a substrate by dry mixing a chosen amount of the metal compound with a chosen amount of the substrate; and supplying energy to the admixture in an amount sufficient to deposit zero valance metal particles onto the substrate. This process gives rise to a number of deposited metallic particle sizes which may be controlled. The compositions prepared by this process are used to produce polymer composites by combining them with readily available commodity and engineering plastics. The polymer composites are used as coatings, or they are used to fabricate articles, such as free-standing films, fibers, fabrics, foams, molded and laminated articles, tubes, adhesives, and fiber reinforced articles. These articles are well-suited for many applications requiring thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, antibacterial activity, catalytic activity, and combinations thereof.
