Morphological Characterization of Soot from the Atmospheric Combustion of Kerosene
Kerosene has been used as a precursor for the production of carbon nanomaterial without a catalyst precursor. Nanomaterials formed in the process have been analysed by Raman, Scanning electron microscope (SEM), x-Ray diffraction (XRD) and by Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Carbon nanomaterial...

| description | Kerosene has been used as a precursor for the production of carbon nanomaterial without a catalyst precursor. Nanomaterials formed in the process have been analysed by Raman, Scanning electron microscope (SEM), x-Ray diffraction (XRD) and by Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Carbon nanomaterial produced show the morphology of carbon nanospheres with diameters of about 0.3 µm. |
