Process Design Strategies for Advanced Carbon Allotropes and their In-Suspension Analytics (A03)

项目A3的目的是设计可扩展的碳同素异形体生产工艺，重点是扩大溶剂热合成碳量子点的规模。此外，还将建立从副产物中纯化碳量子点的先进色谱方法。此外，将与SFB的项目合作伙伴合作研究纯化碳量子点的光电特性。碳量子点的结构将通过新开发的电喷雾电离-差分迁移率分析-质谱法进行深入研究。用于功能应用的碳同素异形体分离和薄膜形成的工艺技术也是重要的方面。我们已经强大的碳同素异形体悬浮液分析工具箱将通过建立额外的荧光/拉曼检测器的分析超灵敏度进一步增强，并提供给SFB内的项目合作伙伴。

The aim of project A3 is the design of scalable processes for carbon allotrope production with focus on scale-up of the solvothermal synthesis of carbon dots. Moreover, advanced chromatographic methods for purification of carbon dots from side products will be established. In addition, the optoelectronic properties of the purified carbon dots will be investigated in cooperation with project partners in the SFB. The structure of the carbon dots will be investigated in-depth by a newly developed Electrospray Ionisation-Differential Mobility Analysis-Mass Spectrometry. Process technologies for carbon allotrope separation and thin film formation for functional applications are also important aspects. Our already strong toolbox for in-suspension analytics of carbon allotropes will be further enhanced by establishing an additional analytical ultracentrifuge with fluorescence/Raman detectors and offered to project partners within the SFB.
