Synthesis of grape-like carbon nanospheres and their application as photocatalyst and electrocatalyst

摘要: Abstract Carbon nanospheres of grape-like structure (CNS) with diameter ranging from 40 to 50 nm and wall thickness 6–8 nm were synthesized by solvothermal route. The phase structure, morphology, microstructure, thermal stability, disorder optical properties CNS investigated various characterization techniques. possible formation growth mechanism for discussed on the basis in-build reaction conditions. degradation study organic pollutants (methylene blue) in UV light presence was done. stability electrochemical performance also at different potential window compared its electrocatalytic activity platinum supported which shows better response oxygen reduction reactions (ORR) an optimized (–0.2 1.0 V vs SCE).
