The novel form of carbon is created through the heating of fullerenes with lithium nitride. The most recognized forms of carbon are graphite and diamond, however, there exist other unique nanoscale allotropes of carbon such as graphene and fullerenes. These are sp2 hybridized carbon structures with
led by Professor Yanwu Zhu, reported a discovery of a new form of carbon.
Zhu who led the USCT team said, “Professor Ruoff explained his interest in the triply periodic minimal surfaces that were described by the mathematician Schwartz, and how trivalently bonded carbon can in principle yield identical structures at the mathematical constructs. These are now referred to as “carbon schwarzite” structures, and that also can be called “negative curvature carbon”.

The “carbon K-edge near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure” data shows a higher degree of delocalization of electrons in LOPC than in C. The electrical conductivity is found to be 1.17 × 10−2 S cm−1 at room temperature, and conduction at a temperature of less than 30 Kelvin seems to be a combination of metallic-like transport over short distances punctuated by carrier hopping.
