Amorphous carbon is a type of carbon that lacks a definite shape or crystalline structure. It is commonly referred to as "carbon black" in the industry. Other synonyms for amorphous carbon include "carbonaceous material," "activated carbon," "charcoal," and "soot." Amorphous carbon is widely used in the production of various materials such as semi-conductors, batteries, and electrodes. It also has applications in medicine, particularly in drug delivery systems. Amorphous carbon is known for its high surface area and porosity, which makes it an excellent adsorbent and absorbent material. Due to its versatile properties, amorphous carbon is an essential component in many industries.
