“…A cost-effective method of synthesis from an affordable material such as kerosene has been successfully done recently. Nano-structured nonuniform spherical carbon was synthesized from incomplete combustion of kerosene with size between 20-100 nm observed by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).The elemental analysis of prepared material was done with EDX, XRD and FTIR analysis (Hossain et al, 2013). The present study focuses on further analysis of carbon nanoparticles synthesized from kerosene, in order to find potential application of carbon nanoparticles synthesized from low-cost method and inexpensive materials such as kerosene.…”

In the present study, the structural and electrical properties of carbon nanoparticles, prepared from kerosene has been investigated with the help of Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) and Ecopia Hall-effect measurement system. The spherical carbon particles size was observed with the help of Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) and the size found 80 nm in diameter as an aggregated particles. The electrical parameters such as resistivity, conductivity, magneto-resistance, mobility, and average Hall coefficient were measured by Ecopia Hall effect measurement system by four-point probe method at a suitable condition. TheI-Vcharacteristic curve of Carbon Nanoparticle Thin Film (CNTF) was observed by a source-meter and a current rectifying behavior at the Ag/CNTF interface was found.The CNPs synthesized from kerosene was found as anntype semiconductor and other electrical properties were compared with CNPs prepared from diesel in the previous study.

“…4. The profile shows two peaks at 2θ of 23.85° and 26.55°(with interlayer spacing 3.73Å and 3.36Å calculated according to the Bragg's equation) corresponding to the amorphous and the graphitic nature of the resulted product (JCPDS Code: 00-008-0415) as also described earlier in the literature [14,[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. The mean size of the crystalline CMBs was also calculated from the major diffraction peak using the Scherrer formula which was found to be 40.59 nm.…”

During the arc discharge technique, a high direct current (DC) voltage powers have been employed by researchers for the fabrication of carbon materials, while in this reported technique, a very low DC power is used to produce carbon micro balls (CMBs). Wherein, the CMBs were synthesized with a minimum capacity of current (1.5 amperes) and voltage (15 volts), and their structural properties were investigated. The electrochemical arc discharge was performed between two graphite rods inserted in an aqueous solution of 1% acetonitrile. The prepared CMBs were characterized using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and Energy Dispersive Xray (EDX) analysis for confirmation of their characteristic properties. The existence of spherical shape and smooth surface of the CMBs was confirmed by SEM with diameters in the range of 80µ-300 nm, and the EDX analysis exhibited the composition of CMBs with atomic mass percents of carbon (88.35%) and oxygen (11.65%). Similarly, the XRD analysis revealed the crystalline graphitic carbon nature of the CMBs with an average crystallite size calculated from the major diffraction peak using the Scherrer formula of about 40.59 nm. The FTIR analysis also showed the signs of the aromatic and oxygen functionalities present in the CMBs.

Development of nano-carbon technology in the world has recently occurred due to its excellent electric, thermal, and mechanical properties and it diverse of applications such as electronics, biology, and material. Fixed bed reactor run into blocked due to carbon deposition on the catalyst that cause pressure drop enhancement. Whereas, application of fluidized bed reactor as an alternative of prior reactor have some trouble for complicated of feed flow control that can cause change of catalyst particle size during reaction since agglomeration and adhesion of nanoparticles transpire. Synthesis of carbon nanotube material used a vertical structured catalyst gauze reactor with double furnace system to maintain the catalyst and carbon source in the form of gas phase. This will lead growth of CNT on the surface of the substrate proved by SEM and XRD characterization. Furnace 1 used to ferrocene vaporizer at 400°C and furnace 2 provide substrate placement for CNT growth at 850°C. CNTs characterization confirmed yield and CNT diameter 29.33% and 11.38 nm respectively. Characterization of SEM show that CNT grows on stainless steel type 316 substrate preferable with oxidative heat treatment. Nevertheless, CNTs product still contain many of impurities such as Fe3O4, Fe2O3, Fe3C, hexagonal graphite, and amorphous carbon.
