Abstract
The structure of samples of amorphous hydrogenated carbon, prepared from acetylene and propane precursors, containing 35 and 32 at.% hydrogen, respectively, was investigated by time-of-flight neutron diffraction in the range 0.2-50 angstrom-1 using the ISIS spallation source. The large dynamic range of the data ensures a real-space resolution sufficient to reveal directly the proportions of sp2 and sp3 hybridized carbon. The results show that, in these hard carbon materials, the carbon-atom sites are predominantly sp2 bonded, and the carbon-carbon single bond:carbon-carbon double bond ratio is about 2.5:1. The detailed information on atomic correlations thus provided is used to discuss current structural models, and in particular the data are used to show that these models require significant modification.
