CARBON NANOMATERIALS. ELECTRON PARAMAGNETIC RESONANCE

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) is a widely used instrumental research method in chemistry, physics, biology, and materials science that can be successfully applied to characterize the electronic structure of carbon nanomaterials. This work presents a brief review of studies of various types of carbon nanostructures (CNS) by EPR, including measurement techniques, principles of spectral data processing and interpretation, and experimental results. The relationship between the properties of CNS and the nearest environment of paramagnetic centers, oxidation, and degradation of materials with time is analyzed.
