A new adsorption substrate: Single crystal exfoliated graphite

A review of exfoliated graphite

Exfoliated graphite (EG) refers to graphite that has a degree of separation of a substantial portion of the carbon layers in the graphite. Graphite nanoplatelet (GNP) is commonly prepared by mechanical agitation of EG. The EG exhibits clinginess, due to its cellular structure, but GNP does not. The clinginess allows the formation of EG compacts and flexible graphite sheet without a binder. The ...

Evaluation of the Adsorption Performance and Sustainability of Exfoliated Graphite Nanoplatelets (xGnP) for VOCs

Exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets (xGnP), which combine the layered structure and low price of nanoclays with the superior mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties of carbon nanotubes, are very cost-effective, and can simultaneously provide a multitude of physical and chemical property enhancements. In this study, we evaluated xGnP's adsorption performance of volatile organic compounds (V...

Exfoliated Graphite Nanofibers for Hydrogen Storage

Exfoliation of graphite nanofibers (GNF) expands the interplanar spacing of the GNF which leads to increased hydrogen storage. The exfoliation technique plays a large role in the resulting GNF microstructure, surface area, and hydrogen storage properties. Variations in preparation conditions expand the GNF lattice from 3.4 Å to over 500 Å. The BET surface area of the exfoliated GNF increases as...
