The Initial Reactions from Pyridine to Hetero-Carbon Nanomaterials Through Solution Plasma
Solution plasma (SP) has a unique reaction at the interface between the liquid and gas phases. Using this reaction, various types of carbon nanomaterial could be synthesized from organic solvents. Especially, the SP is an attractive method to synthesize hetero-carbon nanomaterials from
heterocyclic organic solvents, such as pyridine, at room temperature. Although studies of heterocarbon nanomaterials synthesized by SP were reported many times, research on the synthesis process of hetero-carbon nanomaterials from organic solvents has hardly been conducted. Therefore, in this
study, the initial reactions from pyridine to hetero-carbon nanomaterial through SP were investigated. The initial reaction products were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS). The results of GC-MS show the formation of
cyanopyridine, bipyridine, phenanthroline, and terpyridine, indicating that the pyridine molecules were converted to larger molecules through radical reaction by SP. Also, the change of the Raman spectrum of pyridine after SP was confirmed by CARS analysis.
