Structural analysis of a new multi-layer graphene-carbon nanoflower composite

Different carbon nanomaterials have been synthesized eagerly during the past years because they may result in more efficient materials for, e.g., energy production and storage. The features of the fabricated materials may affect the electrical, optical and mechanical properties. Therefore, it is important to examine the structure of the new materials to find out the most feasible application areas. The synthesis of a multi-layer graphenecarbon nanoflower composite (MLG/CNF) (Fig. 1a) is previously reported (Miettinen et al., 2014). Here, structure of the composite was studied (Miettinen et al., 2015) using transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy.
