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 (CNTs) are cylindrical nanostructures formed by rolling a single layer of graphene into a seamless tube. The graphene sheet consists of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, ...

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 ...
