Carbon material, production method therefor, and electron-releasing material

Provided are a carbon material having excellent conductivity, a production method therefor, and an electron-releasing material. The carbon material according to the present invention has a carbon six-membered ring network, the carbon material being characterized in that a carbon five-membered ring structure and a carbon seven-membered ring structure, which are rearranged structures, are each integrated into the carbon six-membered ring network.
