In the present work, carbon nanotube was synthesis by pulse laser ablation of
graphite target in deionize-water. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR),
UV-Visible Spectrophotometer and Transmission electron Microscopy (TEM)
were used to study chemical bonding, optical absorption, particle size, structure
and morphology of the carbon nanotube. The FTIR absorption peaksat 2092.6
cm
-1
, 2150 and 1641.3 cm
-1
is due to the C ≡ C and C = C stretching vibration
bondrepresents, which suggest the formation of carbon nanoparticles suspend in
this suspension, UV absorption peaks coincide with the electronic transitions
corresponding to linear hydrogen – capped polyyne (Cn+1H2), polyynes are
important precursor molecular components in the formation of carbon nanotubes.
The TEM show the aggregation of the carbon nanoparticles with size ranges from
(9.4 – 70.5 nm), the structure and morphology of thenanotube can be observed with
diameters (12.5 -25) nm andlength(500 -708.3) nm.
Keywords: Carbon Nanotube, Laser Ablation in Liquid, Nanostructure.
