The film discusses the significance of carbon, highlighting its presence in 90% of known compounds and its various forms, such as diamond and graphite. It explains the atomic structure of carbon ...

Synthetic graphite is made by subjecting amorphous (non-crystalline) carbon to enormously high temperatures to rearrange the carbon atoms into the proper crystal structure.

And you might know that graphite isn't the only carbon structure that we commonly find uses for. Diamonds are also composed of pure carbon atoms, but in a different pattern that looks like.

Graphite is a good shield against nuclear radiation because carbon-12 will absorb neutrons and turn into carbon-14, which is why it was used to shield the reactors at Chernobyl.

A single layer of graphene can be described as a simple repetition of carbon atoms arranged in a crystal structure known as a unit cell. In a moiré superlattice of two graphene layers stacked on top ...

However, the same graphite structure fails when it comes to sodium or potassium. Their atoms are simply too big and interactions too complex to slide in and out of graphite’s tightly packed layers.

Sodium ions generally exhibit poor reactivity with conventional anode materials like graphite or silicon. However, the hard carbon–tin nano-composite structure maintains excellent stability and ...
