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?

Yes, graphite, fullerenes, nanotubes and commonly produced in labs, and in smaller quantities by fires. Coal is a hydrocarbon mainly, not carbon.
