A series of nanocrystalline MgO samples containing 1.2−15.9% carbon were prepared by MgO carbonization at 500 °C in 1,3-butadiene flow diluted with argon in a 1:75 ratio. For the sample with 15.9% C almost all the MgO surface was covered with carbon. An increase of the MgO carbonization rate from 50...
