Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

We have studied the fundamental aspects of the exfoliation of intercalation compounds of natural flake graphite with nitric acid and proposed a technique for qualitative and quantitative in situ analysis of the gases forming during graphite nitrate exfoliation. We have examined the effects of the graphite nitrate exfoliation atmosphere, temperature, and time on the released gas composition and the properties of the resulting exfoliated graphite.
