Carbon materials such as nanotubes, graphene, activated carbon and graphite are in high demand. Demand is forecast to continue to increase because carbon materials have many beneficial uses and new applications are being discovered. They are essential to air and water purification, electrodes in metal refining, manufacturing pencils, and lubricants. The carbon source quality (coal tar pitch), temperature, atmosphere, and preparation methods have a major impact on the properties of carbon materials. This is because the structure of carbon materials affect their properties, and the structure can be manipulated in production. Advancing new control parameters during production will lead to the refinement of the functionality of carbon materials.
