Abstract

The present disclosure relates to oxidized carbon nanoparticles, and a method for producing same. The oxidized carbon nanoparticles are nano-sized spherical particles of oxidized carbon have a C/O atomic ratio from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) of 1 to 9, and the largest fraction of oxygen thereof from XPS is observed in a C—O(OH) bind. The oxidized carbon nanoparticles have better physical properties than typical carbon materials such as graphite or carbon black, and the producing process thereof is economical and environmentally-friendly. Further, the oxidized carbon nanoparticles may be applied as a filling material of an organic/inorganic composite, and when applied as such, is environmentally-friendly, economical, exhibits excellent dispersion properties, and may be immediately used without post-processing, such as functionalization.
