Abstract

Carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) were synthesized by a simple way of incomplete combustion of kerosene. Synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Energy dispersive x-ray (EDX), Powder x-ray diffractometry (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The SEM particle sizes of prepared CNPs were found to be non-uniform. The average size of particles is in the range of 20-100 nm. EDX analysis predicts the presence of pure carbon without any contamination. X-ray powder diffractometric analysis of prepared CNPs indicates the presence of large amounts of amorphous carbon material in association with hexagonal graphite lattice. FTIR spectroscopic analysis shows that the prepared CNPs are a mixture of elemental carbon and a trace amount of hydrocarbons.
