Carbon is used in the production of ceramics as a key component in the creation of carbon-based materials, such as carbon fibers or carbon nanotubes, which can be incorporated into ceramic matrices to enhance their mechanical properties, electrical conductivity, and thermal stability. Additionally, carbon can also be utilized as a reducing agent in certain ceramic processes, such as the production of silicon carbide, where it reacts with oxygen to remove impurities and stabilize the ceramic structure.
