Novel Method of Producing Carbon Nanoparticles on Benzene/Water Interface with Femtosecond Laser Plasma Filament
The irradiation of NIR femtosecond laser pulses to a benzene/water bilayer dramatically enhanced the formation of carbon nanoparticles compared with that in neat benzene. The focusing-position-dependent chemistry and the oxidative mechanism of nanoparticle formation are discussed.
