Microstructural evolution of Carbonaceous Material (CM) under low temperature condition

Abstract

We attempted to investigate the detailed microstructures and crystallinity of Carbonaceous Material (CM) to understand the heterogeneity of recrystallization under low temperature condition. In case of structural change at around 400 degreeC, CM represents the heterogeneous microstructure and crystallinity at the boundary of fully ordered gaphite. These data suggest that  other influences strongly affect recrystallization of CM, and that is the reason why natural graphitization cannot explain thermodynamic relationship between peak temperature and duration of heating.
