Morphological characterization of soot from the atmospheric combustion of kerosene

Abstract

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.
