Preparation and Characterization of the C₂H₅COOH-Graphite Intercalation Compound

Abstract:

The graphite intercalation compound with easy low temperature exfoliated and high exfoliated volume was prepared by chemical oxidation method using natural graphite flakes, C₂H₅COOH, FeCl₃ and CrO₃ as raw materials, according to the mass ratio of 1:2.8:0.3:0.2. The expansion volume of gra_{Subscript text}phite intercalation compounds was 320 mL•g^-1 at 300°C and achieved biggest 580 mL•g^-1 at 700°C. The composition, structure and properties of the graphite intercalation compound were characterized and analyzed by SEM, FTIR, XRD, TG, DSC, VSM techniques. Results showed that the intercalant of graphite sandwich were C₂H₅COO^- and FeCl₃.
