Description

The remarkable features of carbon nanomaterials, which include graphene, fullerenes, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and carbon nanofibers, have elevated them to the forefront of material science study. These nanoparticles are very desirable for a variety of applications, such as electronics, energy storage, composites, and biomedical devices, due to their exceptional mechanical, electrical, thermal, and chemical properties. This chapter offers a thorough rundown of the essential characteristics and cutting-edge methods for characterizing carbon nanomaterials. We examine the inherent qualities of several carbon nanostructures, emphasizing their surface chemistry, electrical and thermal conductivity, and mechanical strength. Every one of these characteristics is essential for figuring out whether carbon nanoparticles are appropriate for a given application. The chapter also covers cutting-edge characterization methods that are crucial for assessing the caliber and characteristics of carbon nanomaterials. AFM, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and other spectroscopic techniques are covered in detail. These methods offer vital information on the shape, composition, purity, density of defects, and electrical characteristics of carbon nanomaterials. 2025 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
