Carbon nanostructured materials such as nanodiamonds and graphene are useful for various applications, but their low-energy production technologies remain an important challenge to overcome. Herein, the electrochemical reduction of acetic acid using in-situelectrodeposited Ag/Cu to nanocrystalline carbon products was investigated as a function of AgNO3concentrations in the presence of water and [BMIM]+[BF4]-ionic liquid. Under the conditions used, the deposited Ag clusters could become negatively charged and were responsible for the reduction of acetic acid and the consequent crystalline carbon growth. Increasing Ag concentrations did not only result in higher amounts of Ag being deposited but also created significant local pressure on the atomistic level, where the crystalline carbon was formed, resulting in the re-ordering of carbon atoms into nanodiamond structure. The presence of nanodiamond with average crystallite size 27 nm was clearly evidenced by XRD, Raman, XPS, and TEM-EDX-SAED. The in-situelectrochemical reduction has shown to be an effective ultra-low energy strategy to produce crystalline solid carbon under ambient conditions. |
