Nanostructure analysis of the graphene layers of carbon black

Abstract

The information on the average distance between graphene layers, the length and curvature of layers in globules of highly dispersed carbon black was obtained. The globular turbostratic carbon material was irradiated with laser pulses. Carbon nanocapsules are formed during laser irradiation with a power density 1011 W/cm2. The irradiation of the initial highly dispersed carbon black globules reduces the interplanar spacing of the graphene layers from 0.39 nm to 0.35 nm in the formed nanocapsules.
