Carbon nanohorns (CNHs), a type of nanocarbon, are conical graphenes. Producing CNHs is easier than CNTs, and the mass production of CNHs is also fairly easy. Since CNHs can be made porous to serve as a substance carrier, they are attractive candidates for drug delivery and other applications.

We measured the particle diameter and zeta potential of CNHs with and without pores.
