Influence of laser wavelength on two-dimensional carbon nanosheet formation from laser-induced exfoliation of naphthalene
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Pulsed Nd:YAG (532 nm) and Excimer (248 nm) lasers were employed to produce freestanding, two-dimensional (2D), carbon nanosheets (CNSs) from naphthalene, through laser-induced exfoliation. The polymer-to-carbon transition was investigated in terms of laser wavelengths, fluences, as well as target preparations. Continuous and porous CNSs of several nanometers in thickness and micrometers in size were obtained from 532 and 248 nm pulsed laser exfoliation of spin-coated naphthalene films, respectively. The porous morphology is ascribed to the photon-induced dissociation of chemical bonds dominated in 248 nm laser interaction with ablated naphthalene. With the increase of laser fluences from 1 to 5 J cm−2, amorphous carbon and ultrathin CNS structures were obtained in sequence. This work revealed a general mechanism of producing 2D structured carbon materials from pulsed laser exfoliation.
