well-ordered novel carbon nanostructures such as nanowalls can be grown by electrodeposition from molten salts
electrochemical modification of carbon fibers makes polymer composites tougher
Using computer modelling, researchers have predicted the existence of a new layered form of carbon they call 'amorphous graphite'.
By reacting sugar molecules with alkali metal salts, researchers have created a sponge-like material that can trap carbon dioxide in its cavities.
