Carbonisation of biomass-derived chars and the thermal reduction of a graphene oxide sample studied using Raman spectroscopy
(Elsevier, 2013)Chars and carbonised chars were produced from three different oxygen-rich precursors (Pinus radiata wood, Phormium tenax leaf fibres, and sucrose crystals). These non-graphitisable carbons were analysed with Raman spectroscopy ... -
Characterisation of watersoluble polysaccharides produced during prehydrolysis of pinus radiata
(The University of Waikato, 2010)An aqueous prehydrolysate (or prehydrolysis liquor) was produced during a mild hot-water prehydrolysis (90 minute ramp to 175 C) of commercial radiata pine wood chips. Oligosaccharide and polysaccharide material was separated ... -
Studying carbonisation with raman spectroscopy
(2013)Raman spectroscopy can provide fast and non-destructive analysis of carbonaceous materials. As it is able to detect nanometre-sized structural features, Raman spectroscopy is widely used in the study of carbon nanotubes, ...
