SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF FULLERENE FROM GRAPHITE ORE
Abstract
- This research work concerned with synthesis and characterization of fullerene from graphite ore. The graphite ore was collected from Thabeikkyin Township, Mandalay Region. The synthesis of fullerene was carried out by Modified Hummer’s method in which graphite powder was oxidized with the help of oxidizing agent H2SO4 and KMnO4. Moreover, the various amounts of NaNO3, H3PO4, KMnO4 and H2SO4 were used to produce fullerene. The crystal lattice size of graphite and fullerene were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The prepared fullerenes were analysed by Thermo gravimetric analysis (TG-DTA). The morphology of the graphite and the synthesized fullerene were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM).
