non-graphitic carbon

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.N04193
All varieties of solids consisting mainly of the element carbon with two-dimensional long-range order of the carbon atoms in planar hexagonal networks, but without any measurable crystallographic order in the third direction (c-direction) apart from more or less parallel stacking.
Note:
Some varieties of non-@G02689@ convert on heat treatment to @G02689@ but some others do not (@N04194@).
