SYNTHESIS AND OPTIMIZATION OF CARBON NANOPARTICLES (C-DOTS) AS ABSORBER MATERIALS FOR SOLAR DISTILLATION APPLICATIONS
ABSTRACT: Carbon nanoparticles
(C-Dots) were synthesized using citric acid and urea as carbon and fuel source,
and combustion reaction methods. The absorption spectral and morphology
particles of C-Dots were investigated. The morphology describes the synthesis
of small (<1 μm) and monodispersedC-Dots. Thus, the C-Dots solutions has
absorption spectral range of about 86% at visible light spectral. This study
suggests that the as-prepared carbon nanoparticles (C-Dots) with particle size
and absorption spectral tunability might be utilized as solar energy absorber
material.
