Research and application of coal-based carbon nanomaterials preparation technology

Carbon nanostructures,which can be obtained from chemical products,wood,and coal,play an increasingly important role in modern industry. Being abundant in coal resource,it is important for China to develop coal-based carbon nanomaterials preparation technology. Carbon nanotubes and graphene are two typical carbon nanomaterials. Their structural features,potential application areas,and coal-based preparation technologies were reviewed in this paper,and the work may provide some theoretic reference to improving coal utilization.
