High yield one-step synthesis of carbon spheres produced by dissociating individual hydrocarbons at their autogenic pressure at low temperatures

The use of organometallic transition metal complexes in the synthesis of shaped carbon nanomaterials

“…Pol and co-workers have reported that apart from thermal dissociation of hydrocarbons at autogenic pressure at elevated temperature (RAPET), organometallic precursors (Co, Ni, Mo, V, Zr or W) have also been reacted and typically yielded products in the nanometric range, either as core shell structures or well-dispersed particles [32].…”

Synthesis and Characterization of Hierarchically Structured La2O2M@C:Eu3+ (M = S, Se) Microflowers by a Single‐Step RAPET Method

“…[26] The intensity ratios (I D /I G ) of the graphitic D and G bands are 1.205 and 1.197 for La 2 O 2 S and La 2 O 2 Se, respectively, which indicates that the materials contain disordered amorphous carbon with a high content of lattice defects. [27] …”

One‐Step Synthesis and Characterization of SiC, Mo2C, and WC Nanostructures

“…[28] These bodies are identified as hexagonal (space groups: P6 3 /mmc) α-Mo 2 C by XRD measurement (Figure 3a). To fabricate nanosized Mo 2 C, the thermal decomposition of molybdenum 2-ethylhexanoate at 700°C under an inert atmosphere, which yielded 30 nm particles of α-Mo 2 C, was confirmed by XRD measurements (Figure 3b).…”

“…A detailed explanation on micro vs. nano formation of Mo 2 C is presented elsewhere. [28] Apart from the synthesis and morphology of traditional carbides, we chose to synthesize WC in the tubular or rod-shaped morphology. Before our report on WC nanotubes, the tubular morphology for WC was unknown in the literature.…”
