From Graphite to Graphene – Understanding the Carbon Family

Carbon is one of the few elements that occurs naturally in its native or free elemental form. With an atomic number of six, it can exist in several different forms, or allotropes, composed of pure carbon atoms arranged in different crystal lattices. These forms include graphite, diamond, buckminsterfullerene, and amorphous carbon.
