1. A method for manufacturing a carbon nanomaterial, the method comprising,forming a reverse microemulsion comprising at least one non-polar solvent, at least one surfactant, and at least one polar solvent;

  • adding at least one carbon precursor substance to the reverse microemulsion;

    reacting the at least one carbon precursor substance so as to form an intermediate carbon nanomaterial;

    separating the intermediate carbon nanomaterial from the reverse microemulsion; and

    heating the intermediate carbon nanomaterial for a period of time so as to yield a carbon nanomaterial in which at least a portion of the carbon is graphitic.
