Abstract
In situ Raman spectroscopy during heating in a controlled environment allows for a time-resolved investigation of the oxidation kinetics of carbon nanomaterials and can identify changes in material structure and composition during oxidation. In this chapter, we describe the application of in situ Raman spectroscopy to determine conditions for selective oxidation and purification of carbon nanotubes (CNT) and nanodiamond (ND).
