Background:

Carbon allotropes, such as diamond, graphite, and fullerenes, exhibit diverse structures and properties.
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are one-dimensional nanomaterials with exceptional mechanical and electronic characteristics.
Predicting novel carbon structures requires advanced computational methodologies.

Purpose of the Study:

To discover new carbon allotropes using advanced computational methods.
To characterize the structural, energetic, and mechanical properties of predicted carbon materials.
To explore the potential applications of novel carbon structures.

Main Methods:

Utilized an ab initio particle-swarm optimization methodology for crystal structure prediction.
Performed ground-state energy calculations to determine thermodynamic stability.
Analyzed electronic properties, Young's moduli, tensile strength, hardness, ductility, and density.

Main Results:

Identified eight new sp(2)- and sp(3)-hybridized carbon allotropes.
These allotropes are described as 3D polymers of specific carbon nanotubes (3D-(n,0) and 3D-(n,n) carbons).
Calculated energies indicate greater stability than C(60) fullerene and some nanotube configurations.

Conclusions:

The newly discovered carbon allotropes possess unique electronic properties and superior mechanical characteristics.
These materials exhibit high Young's moduli, tensile strength, hardness, ductility, and low density.
The predicted carbon allotropes hold significant potential for various technological applications.
