Pcm-graphite Composites for High Temperature Thermal Energy Storage

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...

Enormous lattice expansion of hummers graphite oxide in alcohols at low temperatures.

A structural study of swelling of Hummers graphite oxide (H-GO) in excess of liquid alcohols was performed as a function of temperature using synchrotron X-ray diffraction and revealed a strong "negative thermal expansion" effect. The increase of the distance between graphene oxide layers is explained by insertion of additional solvent upon cooling of the H-GO/solvent system. The interlayer dis...

Modeling of graphite oxide.

Based on density functional calculations, optimized structures of graphite oxide are found for various coverages by oxygen and hydroxyl groups, as well as their ratio corresponding to the minimum of total energy. The model proposed describes well-known experimental results. In particular, it explains why it is so difficult to reduce the graphite oxide up to pure graphene. Evolution of the elect...

Low-temperature redetermination of benzofurazan 1-oxide

In the six-membered ring of the low-temperature crystal structure of benzofurazan 1-oxide, C(6)H(4)N(2)O(2), the two C atoms adjacent to the N atoms are linked by a delocalized aromatic bond [1.402 (2) Å]; each is connected to its neighbour by a longer, more localized, bond [1.420 (2), 1.430 (2) Å]. However, the next two bonds in the ring approximate double bonds [1.357 (2), 1.366 (2) Å]. As su...
