The science of carbon materials has experienced a renaissance in recent decades, with Nobel prizes having been awarded for the discovery of C60 in 1996, and graphene in 2010. Other areas of carbon science have also flourished, with notable advances having been made in the synthesis of diamond by chemical vapour deposition and in the preparation and applications of carbon dots.
Elemental Carbon provides an overview of the most rapidly developing areas of contemporary carbon science, including both well-established materials such as graphite and carbon black and new forms such as graphene. As well as giving a brief history of each topic, the five chapters provide reviews of the latest research, covering synthesis, chemical and physical properties, and applications.
Aimed at advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and other researchers in academia and industry, this book provides an invaluable introduction to these increasingly important materials.
