METHODS OF ANALYZING CARBON NANOSTRUCTURES, METHODS OF PREPARATION OF ANALYTES FROM CARBON NANOSTRUCTURES, AND SYSTEMS FOR ANALYZING CARBON NANOSTRUCTURES

摘要

Provided herein is a method determining the concentration of impurities in a carbon material, comprising: mixing a flux and a carbon material to form a mixture, wherein the carbon material is selected from the group consisting of graphene, carbon nanotubes, fullerene, carbon onions, graphite, carbon fibers, and a combination thereof; heating the mixture using microwave energy to form fused materials; dissolution of the fused materials in an acid mixture; and measuring the concentration of one or more impurities.
