Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

Using the anodic oxidation of graphite in Fe(NO3)3-HNO3 mixed electrolytes, followed by heat treatment, we obtained exfoliated graphite modified with iron oxides. All of the samples obtained were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The results demonstrate that the proposed approach allows one to produce exfoliated graphite containing up to 14% Fe in the form of oxides and hydroxides, whose composition depends on the exfoliation temperature.
