Carbon Nanonecklaces with Carbon Nanotubes and Carbon Dots
Mohanachandran Nair Sindhu Swapna, Sankararaman S, 2017, original scientific article

Abstract: Carbon nanoparticles (CNP) have gained significant attention representing unique carbon-based nanomaterials that find applications in various fields of science and technology. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and carbon dots (CDs) have now been widely employed as an electrode in super capacitors, as fluorescent nanomaterials for imaging and for fuel cell applications. In the present work, we describe a simple, low cost and chemical free method of synthesizing stable CNPs aligned in the form of a chain popularly known as carbon necklace with CNTs and CDs. Carbon nanoparticles are synthesized by controlled combustion of camphor in a single step flame process. The CNPs synthesized are characterized using X-ray Powder diffraction (XRD), Raman Spectroscopy, Energy Dispersive X ray diffraction (EDX), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-Visible absorption and Photoluminescent (PL) Spectroscopy. The morphology and size of the CNPs are examined using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) which shows ‘necklace’ structure. The CNPs are collected at two different heights and the particles formed are found in the range 30 to 60 nm. The UV- Visible and PL Spectra of the CNPs obtained show the presence CDs. The Raman Spectroscopic and XRD analysis indicate the presence of CNTs in the sample.
