Perhaps carbon nanotubes, which are associated with graphite, are more essential than fullerenes. The molecular structure of graphite is like stacked, one-atom-thick sheets of chicken wire – a planar ...

As the world's appetite for carbon-based materials like graphite increases, researchers presented evidence this week for a new carbon solid they named 'amorphous graphite.' As the world's appetite for ...

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) and graphene represent two of the most striking functional materials. Due to their outstanding mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties, these one- and two-dimensional ...

Carbon nanomaterials consist of a range of carbon allotropes including carbon nanofibers, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and graphene oxide, each displaying unique properties in mechanical strengths, ...

Nanocarbon refers to various carbon-based materials with nanoscale dimensions, typically in the range of 1-100 nanometers. These materials exhibit unique physical, chemical, and electronic properties ...

A recent study has proposed a strategy to synthesize single-crystalline graphite films orders of magnitude large, up to inch scale. High-quality graphite has excellent mechanical strength, thermal ...
