ABSTRACT

The element carbon has been used as a source of energy for the past few hundred years,and now in this era of technology, carbon has played a significant and very prominent rolein almost all fields of science and technology. So as an honour to this marvellous element,we humans should know about its various forms of existence. In this review article, weshed light on all possible carbon-allotropes; similarities in their synthesis techniques and thestarting materials; their wide range of possible availability; and finally, future perspectivesand applications. A brief introduction is given on the types, structures, and shapes of the allotropesof carbon for a better understanding.
