A NOVEL SERIES OF CARBON ALLOTROPES: NOVAMENE

摘要

The present invention provides a series of new and useful synthetic carbon allotropes. The carbon allotropes contain at least two inner hexagonal rings of 6 carbon atoms, which are characterized by hybridized sp2 bonds, as commonly found in graphene structure. The inner hexagonal rings are located in a central position within the carbon allotropes and bonded to each other in various configurations. Surrounding the hexagonal rings are additional carbon atoms, characterized by sp3 hybridized bonding, found in diamond, and more specifically in hexagonal diamond, also known as Lonsdaleite. These surrounding Lonsdaleite structures are bonded to and surround the inner hexagonal rings and support them in a central position within the carbon allotropes.
