| Abstract | Hydrothermally synthesized carbon nanospheres (CNS) follow a process of early nucleation followed by growth during synthesis. Here we report that growth occurs precisely after 5 min and prior to it nucleation occurs. The nucleation is a brief step in nanoparticle formation followed by growth of the nanoparticle depending on the reaction parameters. |
