Amorphous carbon nanoparticles

A Raman spectroscopic study has been made of carbon films prepared on A1 or Si substrates.314 Raman spectra were used to characterise fluorinated amorphous carbon nanoparticle films (a-C F NPs).315 UV Raman spectra of templated carbon anodes showed a band at 1575 cm-1 (G band) and a broad,... 

Altough graphene structure is almost planar, it should be considered as a sort of open nanoreactor, since in several examples it is reported that it needs the combination graphene-porphirin to be effective. Therefore, we decided to extend the review to such system, also because in several cases, without the presence of graphene (for example, with amorphous carbon nanoparticles) the reactions do not work with the same efficiency.
