Nanoscale Phenomena Occurring during Pyrolysis of Salix viminalis Wood

Figure 2

Structure of virgin carbon obtained from Salix viminalis wood SV6161 studied by HRTEM: randomly oriented graphite crystallites suspended in amorphous carbon phase. Historically, first theoretical model of carbon was elaborated in early fifties in 20th century [5]: inserted in the right upper corner. A novel model has been proposed recently [6].
