A review on C1s XPS-spectra for some kinds of carbon materials

Abstract: The surface properties of carbon materials are very important since many complex physical and chemical reactions take place on their surfaces. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) test is one of ...

Investigation of Graphene/Ag Nanocomposites Synthesis Parameters for Two Different Synthesis Methods

Abstract: Graphene/Ag nanocomposites were prepared with two different approaches; (i) sequential reduction of graphene oxide and silver nitrate (AgNO3), (ii) simultaneous reduction of graphene oxide and AgNO3 with hydrazine hydrate. The effect of synthesis parameters such as AgNO3 amount, concentration of AgNO3 solution, reducing agent amount, concentration of reducing agent solution, on the mean size and particle size distribution of Ag nanoparticles deposited on graphene nanosheets were examined. The structure and morphology of the prepared nanocomposites were characterized with Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR), UV-visible spectra, scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and Raman spectra. Based on experimental data shown in this work Ag nanoparticles with smaller sizes (3.04 ± 0.64 nm) and narrower size range (2–6 nm, approximately % 90) that homogenously deposited on graphene nanosheets were obtained by simultaneous reduction method, compared to sequential ...

Is the C60 Fullerene Molecule Toxic

Abstract: Presented theses criticize the hasty observations and conclusions about some toxic properties of various aqueous dispersions of C60 nanoparticles. In turn, a number of arguments are made emphasizing that pristine fullerenes are non‐toxic, but the supramolecular system of “fullerene‐water” has a wide spectrum of positive and unique biological activity.

Carbon Nanotube Synthesis via the Catalytic CVD Method: A Review on the Effect of Reaction Parameters

Abstract: This review covers the results obtained in carbon nanotube synthesis by chemical vapor deposition. Parameters such as catalysts, supports, carbon precursors, reaction time, temperature and gas flow rates that are used in the production of carbon nanotubes are discussed throughout the text. Purification of the synthesized carbon nanotubes and methods utilized for cost reduction were also explored.

The Studies of Equilibrium and Thermodynamic Adsorption of Pb(II), Cd(II) and Cu(II) Ions from Aqueous Solution onto SWCNTs and SWCNT–COOH Surfaces

Abstract: The equilibrium and thermodynamics of Pb(II), Cd(II) and Cu(II) ions adsorption from aqueous solution onto single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) and carboxylate group functionalized single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT-COOH) surfaces were studied by atomic absorption spectroscopy. The effect of contact time, pH, initial concentration of ion, ionic strength and temperature on the adsorption of ion was investigated. The results indicated that Langmuir model fits adsorption isotherm data better than the Freundlich model. The results also demonstrated that SWCNT-COOH surfaces can more effectively adsorb mentioned ions than a SWCNT surface. Maximum adsorption capacities (qm) for Pb(II), Cu(II) and Cd(II) ions onto SWCNT-COOH were obtained as 96.02, 77.00 and 55.89 mg/g, respectively, and by SWCNTs as 33.55, 24.29 and 24.07 mg/g, respectively. Thermodynamic parameters values showed that the adsorption of ions on SWCNT-COOH and SWCNTs at 283–313 K is spontaneous and endothermic.
