Raman spectroscopy is a nondestructive and crucial techniques for investigating the various kinds of nanomaterial. It is inexpensive, easy to implement, and require little in the way of sample preparation, all without compromising results. The latest innovations in portable gadgets have made them the go-to for field evaluations. The wavelength of the inelastically scattered (Raman) light from irradiation molecules shifts as a result of the vibrations of the molecules themselves. Nondestructive Raman spectroscopy is discussed in detail in this chapter, along with its recent application as a diagnostic tool for the diagnosis and characterization of diverse carbon-based nanomaterials. Carbon-based nanomaterials particularly, carbon nanotubes, fullerene, and graphene have attracted enormous scientific and technological attention due to their unique structural, mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. Here, Raman spectroscopy, a method used to evaluate physicochemical aspects such as structure, structural faults, quality of carbon structures, mechanical properties, and so on, will be discussed.
