“…Heat treatment, which is necessary for structural ordering, is not sufficient for graphitization [6]; the latter process implies that the definite structure of graphite is achieved, and this requires not only exposure to temperatures in excess of 2773 K but also a suitable (graphitizable) precursor and, almost invariably, that the intermediate product passes through a plastic phase (e.g., liquid mesophase). For example, the very much engrained concept of a graphitized carbon black [275][276][277] makes no sense, because carbon blacks are far from being graphitizable.…”
