▎ 摘  要

NOVELTY - Manufacture of nanocarbon material involves heating a catalyst and template to temperature (T1), exposing the catalyst and template to a carbon source at temperature (T1) for a period of time (t1), annealing the catalyst, template, and carbon derived from the carbon source at temperature (T2) for period of time (T2) and removing the catalyst and template to provide a nanocarbon material having electroconductivity of 103 S/m or more and a surface area of 500 m2/g or more. USE - Manufacture of nanocarbon material such as graphene product, rumpled carbon, graphene fiber, hollow nanosphere, cup-stack tube, carbon nanotube, carbon fiber wire and continuous conductive carbon sheet (all claimed). Uses include but are not limited to energy storage, illumination, bioimaging, sensors, electronics, conductive inks, photovoltaics, catalyst supports, adsorbents, coatings, additives and lubricants, lithium-ion battery, fuel cells, and supercapacitor. ADVANTAGE - The method enables manufacture of the nanocarbon material having high electroconductivity and surface area. The carbon wires have practical applicability in various textiles due to lightweight nature, mechanical strength, and high electroconductivity. By using calcium hydroxide, calcium carbonate, and/or calcium oxide as catalyst and template, the catalyst and template is economical, environmentally-friendly, and easily removed from carbon using water, for the catalytic preparation of graphitic and nanostructured carbon. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for the nanocarbon material, which has electroconductivity of 103 or more S/m and surface area of 500 m2/g or more.
