Carbon Allotropes
This chapter is in the book Carbon Allotropes

Abstract

Carbon can be formed in various zero-dimensional, one-dimensional, twodimensional, and three-dimensional structures, besides its magnificent mechanical, chemical, thermal, and electrical properties, which can be used in different industries. Carbon nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes, graphene and its derivatives, carbon nanofibers, and carbon quantum dots are considered as important carbon nano-allotropes since they are applicable in many industries, especially in corrosion protection. Optimized production methods to synthesize such materials on a large scale with high quality are one of the most important concerns. Characterization of carbon allotropes is also important since the different properties of such materials can be evaluated
