Abstract

We report here simple method of preparation of Carbon nano sheets by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) technique. Decomposition of M oil(carbon source) was carried out over finely dispersed Co as a catalyst. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) image revels that the Carbon nano sheets formed around10~ 20 nm in width. For the synthesis of carbon nano sheet synthesis of cobalt catalyst is important step, a simple solution combustion synthesis of Cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nano particles was carried out by using glycine as a fuel and Cobalt nitrate hexahydrate (Co(NO3)2.6H2O) as an oxidizer and it’s reduction to cobalt nano particles by using hydrogen gas. The morphological structural properties of nano particles were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR). The synthesized Co particles have a crystalline size of ~ 20 nm. The agglomeration of fine particles with particle size in the range of 30~40 nm is seen by SEM images. The FTIR shows absorption band for CoO at ~ 484 Cm-1 and 484 Cm-1. The FT-IR spectrum is shows absorption band at ~ 466 cm-1 for Co nano particles. These cobalt nano particles are used as catalyst for the synthesis of carbon nano sheets. Synthesised carbon nano sheet material was analysed by XRD and SEM technique, which can be used in different fields like catalysis supercpacitors, fuel cell etc.
