Metal graphite

The properties of traditional fillers, such as carbon black, graphite, metal powders, carbon fibers, are described in detail in [13], therefore, new kinds of conducting fillers which have recently appeared will be considered below. 

The graphite-metal halides constitute the most populous group of intercalation compounds. Most of the investigative efforts have been directed towards the metal chlorides, particularly FeCls, whereas considerably less is known about the metal bromides S21). Compounds... 

However, magnetic-susceptibility measurements on other graphite-metal chlorides indicated that electron transfer is insufficient to account for reduction of the cation... 

Nonmetal electrodes are most often fabricated by pressing or rolling of the solid in the form of fine powder. For mechanical integrity of the electrodes, binders are added to the active mass. For higher electronic conductivity of the electrode and a better current distribution, conducting fillers are added (carbon black, graphite, metal powders). Electrodes of this type are porous and have a relatively high specific surface area. The porosity facilitates access of dissolved reactants (H+ or OH ions and others) to the inner electrode layers.

A comprehensive review up to mid-1981 has been given by Derbyshire2 on n.m.r. studies of adsorbed H, H20, NH3, and hydrocarbons on such substrates as Si02, A1203, aluminosilicates, carbon black, graphite, metals, and others. The main emphasis in these works has been on relaxation times to determine molecular mobilities of the adsorbed materials and the relevance to, for example, adsorption mechanisms and diffusion properties. Hays46 also reviews recent work on adsorbed species. 

Here we ignore neglected by the conductivity of the metal-catalyst particles. The relative content of the metal nanoparticles in NCM, obtained by different methods, does not exceed 30%. As it was shown earlier for different systems, for example, for the dispersed graphite-metal and thermoexfoliated graphite-metal [5] such content of metal particles does not influence neither the value of electrical resistance nor the character of its temperature dependence. 

Recently, various kinds of solid superacids have been developed. The first group is metal oxides and mixed oxides containing a small amount of sulfate ion, and those modified with platinum. The second group is metal oxides, mixed oxides, graphite, metal salts, etc. treated or combined with antimony fluoride or aluminum chloride. The third group is perfluorinated polymer sulfuric acid (Nafion-H). The fourth and fifth groups are H-ZSM-5 and a type of heteropolyacids, respectively. The last group is simply mixed oxides. 

Most of the suggested refined methods of treating the environment require considerable complication of the scheme of calculations and much computer time. Therefore they were mainly used in the case of sufficiently homogeneous systems of rather simple structures graphite, metals, and oxides with cubic crystal lattices. In contrast, the real surface of most oxides is characterized by... 

Some of the chondritic meteorites contain grains (including crystalline and amorphous silicates, diamonds, silicon carbide, graphite, metal oxides, and metal nitrides) that have been identified as presolar based on non-solar isotopic ratios (Zinner 1988 Anders Zinner 1993 Bematowicz et al. 2006), particularly for... 

As more sophisticated metal hydrides are developed (nanocrystalline, multicomponent systems, composites and nanocomposites, graphite/metals or similar hybrid systems, clusters, etc.), it is important to be a vare that, for practical applications, a large volume of material should be processed in a fast, inexpensive and reliable vay, for example casting. Techniques such as cold vapor deposition may be impossible to scale up but this does not mean they should be discarded as a means of studying new metal hydrides. On the contrary, laboratory techniques allow much better control of the end product and permit the elaboration of new compounds. Once an attractive compound is found then another challenge w ill have to be faced scaling up the synthesis. In this respect, it is important for the community of metal hydrides researchers to also study large-scale production techniques in order to make the transition from laboratory to industrial scale easier.
