Fabrication of isotropic bulk graphite using artificial graphite scrap

Electronic structure of graphite oxide and thermally reduced graphite oxide

We present the electronic structure evolution from graphite oxide to thermally reduced graphite oxide. Most functional groups were removed by thermal reduction as indicated by high resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and the electrical conductivity increased 6 orders compare with the precursor graphite oxide. X-ray absorption spectroscopy reveals that the thermally reduced graphite oxi...

Growth of contiguous graphite fins from thermally conductive graphite fibers

Contiguous graphite fins can be grown with Microwave Plasma CVD from the surface of different types of thermally conductive (TC), graphite fibers. The fins grow from all fiber filaments in multiple same TC graphite fiber tow bundles. Fin morphology consists of contiguous branching graphene basal planes originating from the fiber’s surface and curling outwards regardless of the fiber’s isotropic...

Production of Carbon Nanotubes Using Vein Graphite

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) are produced from a rare variety of natural vein graphite (VG) distinctive to Sri Lanka using electric arc discharge. Electric arc-discharge produces both single walled and multi walled nanotubes. The products are characterized using high resolution electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy for verification and validation. Keywords—CNT, vein graphite, arc discharge, SWCNT

Improved Mechanical and Electrochemical Properties of Artificial Graphite Anode Using Water-Based Binders in Lithium-Ion Batteries

In recent years, many studies have focused on the active materials of anodes to improve the performance of LIBs, while limited attention has been given to polymer binders, which act as inactive ingredients. However, polymer binders have amazing influence on the electrochemical performance of anodes. Herein, to investigate the binding performance between MCMB artificial graphite and the copper c...
