Recently, a new method of syntheses of graphitic carbon nitrides by heating at 400-600 �C of a mixture of melamine and uric acid in the presence of alumina has been reported.

Other ideas of the structure of the solid, include graphitic carbon with carbon dioxide under pressure, and a polymer with this C 3 O 2 monomer :-( C = O )-O-( C-) = C <.

Conventional Li-ion batteries use graphitic carbon as the anode, but replacing this with silicon nanotubes experimentally increases the specific ( by mass ) anode capacity by a factor of 10 ( though the overall capacity improvement is lower due to the far lower specific cathode capacities ).
