Preparation of Exfoliated Graphite by Microwave Using Natural Graphite with Different Particle Sizes

Article Preview

Abstract:

Three natural graphite flakes (35, 50 and 80 mesh) were used as raw material. Exfoliated graphite (EG) was prepared by rapidly heating residue H2SO4-graphite intercalation compounds (RGIC) in a muffle and by irradiating it in a microwave oven, respectively. Results show that the exfoliation volume of EG decreases with decreasing the raw graphite particle size. Compared with muffle heating, microwave irradiation is more helpful for the exfoliation of RGICs, especially for the small particle samples.
