A novel and facile protocol for the fast and autothermal formation of different types of nanocarbons including 3D graphene-like nanosystem via combustion synthesis is presented in this study. The combustion reaction of magnesiothermic reduction of carbon-bearing oxidants resulted in the total conversion to solid raw products containing mostly nanocrystalline magnesium oxide, porous carbon, and layered graphene-related nanomaterial. Purification in mineral acid removed the MgO and non-reacted reducer, enabling efficient recovery of the carbon product.
Carbon nanomaterials like fullerenes, nanotubes and graphene are of great interest for the current research as well as for industrial applications. Herein a novel and facile protocol for the fast and autothermal formation of different types of nanocarbons including 3 D graphene-like nanosystem via combustion synthesis is presented. Magnesiothermic reduction of carbon-bearing oxidants (both pure chemical reagent and consumer commodities) resulted in their total conversion yielding solid raw products containing mostly nanocrystalline magnesium oxide, porous carbon and layered graphene-related nanomaterial. The combustion reaction was also optically online monitored to follow the reaction course. Purification in mineral acid removed the as-formed MgO and the non-reacted reducer and hence enabled the efficient recovery of the carbon product. The reactants and products were characterized using electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Chemical composition was probed by EDS and elemental analysis. The adsorption performance of purified products was also evaluated.
