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.
Keywords: Carbon nanoparticles (C-Dots); simple heating process; solar distillation applications
