Raman micro-spectroscopy In Carbon Nanomaterials Research?

Published: Thursday, 25 June 2015

Carbon nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes (CNT), and graphene, can provide excellent electrical and physical properties. Graphene (First reported in Science in 2004) consists of single molecular layers of highly crystalline graphite, and can be treated as a basic structure element of other carbon allotropes, such as graphite, carbon nanotubes, fullerenes and other basic structural elements. Carbon nanotubes can be considered as rolled tube of a single graphene layer.

Raman micro-spectroscopy can be used to observe the microscopic characteristics are shown in nanotubes. By using Raman micro-spectroscopy, we can observe: 

  • Localizing a single carbon nanotube 
  • Get the diameter and chirality of nanotubes
  • Purity and quality assessment of new materials 
  • Electronic behavior of nanotubes (semiconductor / metallic) 
  • The number of layers of graphene materials 
  • Graphene structure and its stress / strain characterization
