Summary
On this work, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have been unzipped using the modified Hummers approach as an effectual process to ship extremely unzipped graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) employed for the fabrication of a light-weight sensor. The chemical unzipping was additionally attained by modifying the oxidation time to make sure a superb unzipping effectivity and a better charge of exfoliation of the MWCNTs. The affect of soaking time on the unzipping effectivity of the MWCNTs has been examined. Moreover, SEM, TEM, FTIR, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman examinations have been utilized to watch and characterize the method of unzipping of MWCNTs. Schottky diode based mostly on the unzipping MWCNTs was fabricated. The optoelectrical properties of the chemically unzipped carbon nanotube (CNT) by the modified hummers technique have been studied. The excessive unzipping effectivity was a superb approach used for the fabrication of a promising Schottky diode photosensor which was revealed by the I–V traits curves. A 532 nm laser was used to calculate the quantum effectivity. Primarily based on the obtained outcomes, the synthesized GNRs have very promising purposes in lots of fields together with micro and nano optoelectronics.
