Kinds regards all !
I need help,
I got my data for the XRD Pattern of my Graphene Nanoplatelets (XGSciences supplier).
My questions are the following, I really appreciate if someone out there can help me with some of these ...
1. I have searched a little and I have found, there is a very characteristic peak in Graphite (so called Graphitic Peak?) at 26.2 ° =2Theta ,,, is this correct ?, If so, I can observe it on my graph. But I also can see another very little intense peak at 2theta = 55° , what does this peak represent in the case of the Graphene Nanoplatelets ?
(I have the XRD pattern attached below)
2. Can I determine the spacing lenght (d) between planes from my diffraction pattern ?
3. And third , How I can determine the particle size of my nanoplatelets, using the Scherre formula (d = (K*lambda)/[Beta*Cos(Theta)] , what I don't know is what to put as the value of K in this case; the dimensionless Shape Factor
When I get to compute this size d,(nm). What will this number mean ? , the diameter of the np ? or the thickness of the np ? (np = Graphene nanoplatelets)
Thank you so much, I will appreciate any help !
