M © (54) Title: METHODS, APPARATUSES, AND ELECTRODES FOR CARBIDE-TO-CARBON CONVERSION WITH Ir- NANOSTRUCTURED CARBIDE CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS 71' c)1 : Il (57) : Nanostructured carbide chemical compound is used to convert carbide to carbon. A method comprising: providing at ---- least one carbide chemical compound and reducing a metal cation with use of the carbide chemical compound to form elemental carbon, N wherein the carbide chemical compound is nanostructured. The nanostructured carbide chemical compound can be in the form of a © nanoparticle, a nanowire, a nanotube, a nanofilm, a nanoline. The reactant can be a metal salt. Electrochemical reaction, or reaction in f'1 the melt or in solution, can be used to form the carbon. The nanostructured carbide chemical compound can be an electrode. C
