How to do indexing of cellulosic material?

28 February 2019 1 3K Report

I was trying to index from cellulosic fiber XRD data. When trying to match with phase, it is showing many compounds. The phase is cellulose (C6H10O5) which show at least two peak at 101 and 002 hkl plane. But it is hard to find this exact phase. I want some suggestions regarding this. Is there any particular way to indexing organic material phases or any particular software for the same? Kindly help me out.

Thanking You

Please download the JCPDS PDF card for your sample, i.e. C6H10O5. It is actually the reference data and it contains several structure related information. It is available in ICDD (International Centre for Diffraction Data) website. Then compare your experimental data with this reference data.

You can also use X'Pert HighScore software for XRD analysis.

Best Regards,

Dipayan
