▎ 摘　　要

NOVELTY - A nitrogen-containing carbon material comprises a nitrogen atom, and in nitrogen (N1s) X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis, the ratio of the peak of the basal nitrogen atom to the peak of the total nitrogen atom in the nitrogen-containing carbon material is 80% or more. USE - Nitrogen-containing carbon material used for carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, graphite films, graphene, graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, artificial graphite, and carbon black. ADVANTAGE - The nitrogen-containing carbon material can be easily produced even under mild conditions. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for manufacture of the nitrogen-containing carbon material, which involves heating a condensed ring compound (A) in which at least one of the atoms shared by two or more adjacent ring structures is a nitrogen atom.
