Abstract
An ultrathin sheet-like carbon nanostructure provides an important model of a two-dimensional graphite structure with strong anisotropy in physical properties. As an easy and cheap route for mass production, RF thermal plasma synthesis of freestanding carbon nanosheet from $CH_4$ (Methane) and $C_3H_8$ (Propane) is presented. Using vapor synthesis process with RF inductively thermal plasma, carbon nanosheets were obtained without catalysts and substrates. The synthesized carbon nanosheets were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis. The carbon nanosheets synthesized using methane and propane generally showed 5~6 and 15~16 layers with a wrinkled morphology and size of approximately 100 nm.
