Graphitized carbon studies

The composition varies with the heat treatment and the end point according to x-ray diffraction studies it is a form of carbon that reconverts to weU-ordered graphite on heating to 1800°C. Before the use of x-rays, chemists used the Brodie reaction to differentiate between graphitic carbons and turbostratic carbons. Turbostratic carbons yield a brown solution of humic acids, whereas further oxidation of graphite oxide produces mellitic acid (benzenehexacarboxyhc acid) [517-60-2] ... 

In the 1930s Hoffman and Wilm [101] found only (hkO) graphite reflections in an x-ray diffraction study of a carbon black. The absence of graphitie (hkl) reflections led them to propose a structure consisting of graphitic carbon layer...

Graphitic carbons are the most crystalline of the carbonaceous materials of the three regions in Fig. 2. During the last 40 years, the structure of graphitic carbons has been carefully studied by many scientists [2,15,21,22]. 

The structure refinement program for disordered carbons, which was recently developed by Shi et al [14,15] is ideally suited to studies of the powder diffraction patterns of graphitic carbons. By performing a least squares fit between the measured diffraction pattern and a theoretical calculation, parameters of the model structure are optimized. For graphitic carbon, the structure is well described by the two-layer model which was carefully described in section 2.1.3. 

The surface structure has a strong influence on the corrosion rate of carbon in both acid and alkaline electrolytes. Studies by Kinoshita [33] clearly showed that the specific corrosion rate mAcm"2 of carbon black in 96 wt% H3P04 at 160 °C was affected by heat treatment. A similar trend in the corrosion rate in alkaline electrolyte was observed by Ross [30c], as shown in Fig. 4. It is evident that the corrosion rates of the nongraphitized carbons are higher than those of the corresponding graphitized carbons. Their study further indicated that some types of carbon blacks (e.g., semi...

Affected by multiple scattering are, in particular, porous materials with high electron density (e.g., graphite, carbon fibers). The multiple scattering of isotropic two-phase materials is treated by Luzatti [81] based on the Fourier transform theory. Perret and Ruland [31,82] generalize his theory and describe how to quantify the effect. For the simple structural model of Debye and Bueche [17], Ruland and Tompa [83] compute the effect of the inevitable multiple scattering on determined structural parameters of the studied material.
