Characterizing Graphene with Raman Spectroscopy
17 Nov 2014Raman spectroscopy is a great tool for the characterization of graphene. Few techniques will provide as much information about the structure of graphene samples as Raman spectroscopy and any lab doing graphene characterization without Raman would be at a significant disadvantage. In this application note, the Thermo Scientific DXR Raman microscope is used for graphene characterization to provide a high level of stability, control and sensitivity needed to produce confident results.

Raman SpectroscopyRaman spectroscopy is used to discern the vibrational and rotational states of molecules and hence the chemical composition of a sample by measuring the inelastic scattering of monochromatic light. Explore a range of Raman spectrometers, including handheld/portable Raman spectrometers for QC/QA labs and in situ spectrometers for processes. Conduct Raman imaging for microanalysis of mixed samples using a Raman microscope. Raman spectrographs are also available. Find the best Raman spectroscopy products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.GrapheneGraphene is a two-dimensional structure that comprises of a hexagonal honeycomb lattice of carbon atoms. Graphene can conduct electricity and heat, is almost transparent and is 100x stronger than steel by weight.NanomaterialsNanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, fullerenes and nanoparticles are a group of materials that measure between 1-1000nm for a single unit. Analysis techniques include AFM, electron microscopy and super resolution microscopy.
