Graphitizing and non-graphitizing carbons are the two categories of carbon produced by pyrolysis of organic materials. Rosalind Franklin first identified them in a 1951 paper in Proceedings of the Royal Society.

How do you Graphitize carbon?

Graphitized carbon is usually prepared by using a graphitization process leading to the formation of graphite structure. Sharp peaks are observed at 2 teta around 26º and 43º, which are assigned to the (002) and (100) diffraction of graphitic carbons.

What is amorphous carbon used for?

Amorphous carbon nanocomposites

On the basis of their superior and unique properties, these materials have been used in various applications for textile, plastic, and health-care industries as well as in the fields of gas and water filtering, electrical applications, and food packaging.
