Abstract

In this Perspective, the use of ultrasound in the synthesis and modification of carbon materials is surveyed. Ultrasound is a common laboratory tool used to nebulize solutions into fine mists, emulsify mixtures, and drive chemical reactions. Given society’s continued use of carbon materials (e.g., carbon black and activated carbon) as pigments, adsorbents, and composite components as well as the exciting new applications being explored for carbon nanotubes, graphene, and meso- and macroporous carbons, the use of ultrasound in the synthesis and modification of carbon materials is of general interest. Here, carbon materials prepared by both ultrasonic spray pyrolysis and high intensity ultrasound will be discussed, with the properties and applications enabled by their preparation highlighted within the individual examples. This article is concluded with some personal perspectives on the directions toward which future research may be aimed.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
