1. A method for forming carbon nanostructures, comprising the steps of:
- (a) synthesising a microporous template material comprising crystals having no dimension greater than about 2 μ
m, (b) heating said crystals in the presence of an inert gas or a mixture of an inert gas and a carbon-containing gas at a temperature of between 500°
C. and 900°
C., and (c) recovering carbon nanostructures by washing the heated crystals in an acid to remove the template material.
