Raman Spectroscopic Studies of Thin film Carbon Nanostructures Deposited using Electro Deposition Technique

In the present work our focus is to synthesize carbon nanostructures (CNS) by electro deposition technique without using any surface pretreatment or catalyst preparation before CNS formation. The process were carried out at significantly low voltage and at low temperature as reported elsewhere. Further the samples were characterized using different characterization tools such as SEM and Raman spectroscopy. The SEM results showed the fibres or tubular like morphology. Raman spectra shows strong finger print at 1600 cm(-1) (G peak), 1350 cm(-1) (D peak) along with the radial breathing mode (RBM) between 150cm(-1) to 300 cm(-1). This confirms the formation of tubular carbon nanostructures.
