Carbon nano-onions (CNOs) represent a still largely unexplored carbon allotrope. Promising properties of these unique carbon structures are driving the research efforts in this area, but many technical problems remain in their preparation, derivatization, separation and characterization. In this article, we report the preparation, partial purification, and multiple functionalization and solubilization of CNOs. With only one priorly published short communication describing CNO functionalization, the present work is the most comprehensive description of CNO functionalization and characterization to date.
碳纳米洋葱（CNOs）是一种在很大程度上仍未被探索的碳同素异形体。这些独特碳结构的优良特性推动着该领域的研究工作，但在其制备、衍生化、分离和表征方面仍存在许多技术问题。在本文中，我们报告了碳纳米洋葱的制备、部分纯化、多重功能化及增溶情况。此前仅有一篇关于碳纳米洋葱功能化的简短通讯发表，因此本工作是迄今为止对碳纳米洋葱功能化及表征最为全面的描述。
