Spectral Properties of the Graphitic (G) and Defective (D) Carbon-Stretching Modes for Each Macromolecular Carbon Sample

Sample D band, cm−1 G band, cm−1 G FWHM, cm−1 D/(D + G) intensity ratio
HOPG n.d. 1578 48.6
Anthracite n.d. 1602 74.7
Bituminous (hvC) 1399 1615 81.5 0.29
Sub-bituminous (B) 1385 1615 85.7 0.28
Lignite 1384 1616 89.0 0.27
Humic acid 1401 1613 95.5 0.34

All Raman peak positions have an estimated uncertainty of ±5 cm−1.

FWHM = full-width half-maximum.
