LUBRICANTS

Abstract

The invention relates to carbon materials with carbon assemblages, specifically to lubricating oils, in which the carbon assemblages consist of carbon nanoparticles and / or other carbon allotropes. In various designs, the nanoparticles consist of graphene, optionally with bulk filaments and / or other carbon polymorphs. In various designs, the nanoparticles and assemblages have various combinations of: Raman spectroscopy with 2D and G peaks, and a 2D / G intensity ratio greater than 0.5, low elemental impurity content, large Brunauer-Etnmett and Teller (BET) surface area, large particle flags, and / or high electrical conductivity. The invention also relates to electrical conductivity, tire additives, and battery cells containing this carbon material.
