Abstract: | We report a simple method to produce graphene nanospheres (GNSs) by annealing graphene oxide (GO) solution at high-temperature
with the assistance of sparks induced by the microwave absorption of graphite flakes dispersed in the solution. The GNSs were
formed by rolling up of the annealed GO, and the diameters were mostly in the range 300–700 nm. The GNS exhibited a hollow
sphere structure surrounded by graphene walls with a basal spacing of 0.34 nm. Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron
spectroscopy of the GNSs confirmed that the GO was efficiently reduced during the fabrication process. The resulting GNSs
may open up new opportunities both for fundamental research and applications, and this method may be extended to the synthesis
of other nanomaterials and the fabrication of related nanostructures.
