Abstract

A new synthesis method of nanomaterials using the impulse plasma in liquid by the low voltage spark discharge is presented. The bismuth and antimony nanopowders were for the first synthesized by electric discharge method in liquid. The impulse plasma in liquid enables us to quench from plasma state, by which we can synthesize nanomaterials, nanorods, etc. In addition, the applied power is 100 times smaller than those of arc discharge. The possibility of obtaining nanorods of metallic bismuth and antimony by the impulse plasma in liquid between two electrodes from corresponding metal is presented.
