The nanostructured products obtained in our experiments with various alcohol solutions (ethanol, propanol, and benzene) were analyzed using modern nanostructure identification methods. The diameters of the synthesized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) ranged from 9 to 35 nm, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) from 2 to 4 nm, and graphene flakes from 1 to 7 sheets, depending on the alcohol solution composition. Fullerene-like structures identified by HRTEM were obtained from a benzene mixture using electric arc vapor plasma synthesis. It is shown that the thermal steam plasma process with various alcohol solutions has great potential for the synthesis of nanotubes and graphene flakes due to the continuous and easy-to-implement method, cheap raw materials and adjustable carbon content due to the combination of different mixture compositions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nano16070409","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,30]],"date-time":"2026-03-30T12:11:44Z","timestamp":1774872704000},"page":"409","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Influence of the Composition of a Water\u2013Alcohol Solution on the Synthesis of Nanostructures Using a Steam-Water Electric Arc Plasma Torch"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3287-3298","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonina I.","family":"Karlina","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Scientific Research and Testing Center \u201cStroytest\u201d, Moscow State University of Civil Engineering, Moscow 129337, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrey E.","family":"Balanovskiy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Materials Science, Welding and Additive Technologies, Irkutsk National Research Technical University, Irkutsk 664074, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-8373-1412","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Georgy E.","family":"Kurdyumov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Advanced Engineering School, Cherepovets State University, Lunacharsky Street, 5, Cherepovets 126600, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vitaliy A.","family":"Gladkikh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Scientific Research and Testing Center \u201cStroytest\u201d, Moscow State University of Civil Engineering, Moscow 129337, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Galina Yu.","family":"Vitkina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Advanced Engineering School, Cherepovets State University, Lunacharsky Street, 5, Cherepovets 126600, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-5900-065X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roman V.","family":"Kononenko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Information Technology and Data Science, Irkutsk National Research Technical University, 83 Lermontov St., Irkutsk 664074, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Viktor V.","family":"Kondratiev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Advanced Engineering School, Cherepovets State University, Lunacharsky Street, 5, Cherepovets 126600, Russia"},{"name":"Innovation and Technology Center for Energy and Resource Conservation, A.
