petrushka.googol Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 As is well known diamond which is an allotrope of carbon has been engineered in the lab. Has this been achieved in the lab with other allotropes of carbon like graphite and charcoal? Does nanotechnology or molecular engineering offer any solutions?

Enthalpy Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Yes, graphite, fullerenes, nanotubes and commonly produced in labs, and in smaller quantities by fires. Coal is a hydrocarbon mainly, not carbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
