Application of Scanning Probe Microscopies to Flame-formed Carbon Nanoparticles

Many studies have shown the potential of using flame-formed CNPs for several advanced technologies including: fluorescent nanoparticles, active material for new solar cells generation or as supercapacitor material; (in addition to the classical carbon black uses); Flame-formed CNPs can have different features: particles size, morphology, degree of carbonization, optical properties; In this poster we report some results achieved, in our lab, and in collaboration with other groups, by scanning probe microscopies on CNPs.
