Carbon, one of the most versatile elements known, occurs in a multitude of allotropes that exhibit a wide array of physical and chemical properties. The diversity of carbon’s bonding—ranging from sp² ...

The most well-known forms of carbon include graphite and diamond, but there are other more exotic nanoscale allotropes of carbon as well. These include graphene and fullerenes, which are sp2 ...

There are many different carbon allotropes. Some are bulk materials, such as diamond or graphite, whereas others are nanostructures materials ­– such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene. All ...
