A Spectroscopic Approach to Carbon Materials for Energy Storage

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Carbon

Part of the book series: Topics in Applied Physics ((TAP,volume 100))

Abstract

In this Chapter we present the contribution offered by vibrational spectroscopy in the characterization of carbon–based materials. The necessary conceptual tools will be introduced in Sect. 2 and Sect. 3; the basic structural and dynamical properties of the different crystalline or ordered aggregation forms of carbon will be described. With such a background we pave the way to the spectroscopic characterization (Raman and infrared) of disordered carbon materials, such as those recently proposed for hydrogen storage. The application of the concepts and data described to the field of new carbon materials for energy storage is presented.
