Summary Highly purified flaked metals can be prepared by electrolyzing a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid utilizing a corresponding metal anode and a graphite cathode. The electrolysis is generally simple, and produces beautiful flakes of the desired metal. 

Two forms of carbon materials are used as additives in the battery industry carbons and graphites. Carbons, in turn, are carbon blacks, activated carbon, etc. Graphites are also available in several forms purified natural flake graphites, expanded graphites, synthetic spherical graphites, etc. Table 7.1 summarises the basic characteristics (particle size, specific BET surface area, trade name) of some of the commercially available carbon and graphite materials. 

An inkjet ink that contains carbon nanotubes (CNTs), flake graphites, an organic carrier, a binder, a surfactant, a film enhancer and a solvent has been described (18). The CNTs to be used can be purified by the following steps (18) ... 

The materials used in this study include (a) natural flake graphite and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) from Sigma Aldrich, (b) the aniline monomer was obtained from Aldrich and purified by vacuum distillation and kept under nitrogen in a refrigerator at about 4°C prior to use, (c) medium molecular weight chitosan powder with = 480 KDa and DD = 75-85%... 

As mentioned above, employment of MWCNT for field emitter will be one of the most important applications of MWCNT. For this purpose, MWCNT is prepared by the chemical purification process [30,38], in which graphite debris and nanoparticles are removed by oxidation with the aid of CuCl2 intercalation [38]. Purified MWCNT is obtained in the form of black and thin "mat" (a flake with thickness of ca. a few hundreds of [im). Figure 7 shows a typical transmission electron microscope (TEM) picture of MWCNT with an open end, which reveals that a cap is etched off and the central cavity is exposed.

The final natural graphite sample was a purified version of the more ideal, flakelike natural graphite and showed no traces of catalytic activity. As expected this sample exhibited the lowest reactivity and the oxidized microstracture revealed the hexagonal edges and umeactive basal plane expected for highly crystalline graphite flakes. 

SWNT were produced by laser ablation and subsequently purified via acid treatment. Single-wall nanotubes were manufactured by laser vaporization of carbon rods doped with Co, Ni and FeS in an atmosphere of Ar H2. Standard SWNT products made by HiPCO and other methods contain significant amount of sooth, graphite flakes, and remnants of the catalyst, which need to be removed prior to the assembly. The quality of the dispersion directly affects the mechanical performance of the resulting composite.
