Abstract
Transforming a first carbon material into a second carbon material includes preparing a solid metal-carbon alloy including a metal and the first carbon material, heat treating the solid metal-carbon alloy to form a first mixture including the metal and the second carbon material, and contacting the first mixture with a quantity of hydrogen halide to yield a quantity of hydrogen gas, a second mixture including the second carbon material, and a metal halide including the metal. The first carbon material is dissolved in the metal, and the second carbon material differs from the first carbon material.
