This lecture covers the chemistry of carbon allotropes, including graphite, charcoal, activated carbon, diamond, fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and graphene. It discusses their properties, production methods, applications, and historical significance. The lecture also explores the unique physical and chemical characteristics of each allotrope, such as the conductivity of carbon nanotubes, the hardness of diamond, and the strength of graphene.
