Science Daily  May 21, 2022 Scientists have long been interested in the construction of new or novel carbon allotropes. The most well-known carbon allotropes are graphite and diamonds, which are created out of sp2 carbon and sp3 carbon, respectively. However, the traditional methods don’t allow for the different types of carbon to be synthesized together in large capacity. Researchers at the University of Colorado used alkyne metathesis as well as thermodynamics and kinetic control to successfully create a material that could rival the conductivity of graphene but with control. Now the team is looking into the details of it, including […]
