Preferred Label : exfoliated graphite;
IUPAC definition : The product of very rapid heating (or flash heating) of graphite intercalation compounds,
such as graphite hydrogensulfate of relatively large particle diameter (flakes). The
vaporizing intercalated substances force the graphite layers apart. The exfoliated
graphite assumes an accordion-like shape with an apparent volume often hundreds of
times that of the original graphite flakes.;
Scope note : exfoliated graphite is usually prepared from well-crystallized natural flake graphite.
it is used for the production of graphite foils. exfoliated graphite is different
from the deflagration product of graphite oxide (graphitic acid).;
Origin ID : E02263;
