Preparation of carbon nanosheet via ultrasound irradiation of carbon black under ambient conditions was reported for the first time. The structure of resulting carbon nanosheet was characterized by TEM, HRTEM, EDX and AFM. The experimental results showed that the carbon nanosheet is composed of ordered graphite carbon layers with a thickness of several nanometers.
