ABSTRACT:
Electrically conductive carbon flakes and films are prepared in high yield by the pyrolysis of cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, optionally halogenated, in the presence of a dehydrogenating agent at about at least 800.degree. C. Flakes of thicknesses up to 20 .mu.m and lengths up to 1 cm on a side are metal-like in appearance and have a conductivity of about 200-300 S/cm at room temperature. By heat treatment to 2600.degree. C., graphitic order is improved and the conductivity rises to .apprxeq.10000-15000 S/cm.
