Morphological characterization of soot from the combustion of candle wax
Open accessAbstract
Candle wax has been used as a precursor for the production of carbon nanomaterial without a catalyst precursor. Nanomaterials formed in the process were analysed by Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), high resolution transmission electron microscope (HR-TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Carbon nanomaterial produced from candle wax flame soot show the morphology of carbon nanospheres. The results obtained are presented.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
