Carbon products with different dimensions and high crystallinity were synthesized by controlling the assembly dimensions and intermolecular interactions of c-HBC derivatives, which are largely affected by the edge element and the deposition conditions. Further control of crystallinity was achieved by involving copper vapor; the effect is shown to be limited by the thickness of the assembled c-HBC layer. Study of the carbonization of c-HBC allowed development of an effective strategy to grow graphene-like structure on arbitrary substrates. This ability is expected to be a foundation for designed synthesis of graphitic carbons that have optimum morphology and dimensions for targeted applications. English Pergamon Press Ltd.
