“…A typical image of graphitized carbon black, taken a few years later by Ban [36], is shown in Figure 2. The ability to resolve graphitic structure directly prompted a rapid expansion of TEM work on sp 2 -based carbon materials, including carbon fibres [37], glassy carbon [38] microporous carbon [39], and coal [40]. Several reviews of these early studies have been given [36,41,42].…”

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been used in the study of solid carbon since the 1940s. A number of important forms of carbon have been discovered through the use of TEM, and our understanding of the microstructure of carbon has largely been gained through the application of TEM and associated techniques. This article is an attempt to present an historical review of the application of TEM to carbon, from the earliest work to the present day. The review encompasses both graphitic carbon and diamond, and spectroscopic techniques are covered, as well as imaging. In the final section of the review, the impact of aberration-corrected TEM on current carbon research is highlighted.

Graphitic forms of carbon are important in a wide variety of applications, ranging from pollution control to composite materials, yet the structure of these carbons at the molecular level is poorly understood. The discovery of fullerenes and fullerene-related structures such as carbon nanotubes has given a new perspective on the structure of solid carbon. This review aims to show how the new knowledge gained as a result of research on fullerene-related carbons can be applied to well-known forms of carbon such as microporous carbon, glassy carbon, carbon fibers, and carbon black.

“…Slight differences in temperature may be significant in light of the highly non-linear nature of crystalline rearrangements. For example, Ban et al [1975] observe very little structural rearrangement during carbonization of polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) between 1273 and 1573 K, but a significantly more ordered structure after further heat treatment to 1973 K. This result implies the presence of a threshold temperature, above which bond breaking and rearrangements proceed rapidly.…”
