This article is devoted to investigation of the synthesis process of exfoliated graphite. Exfoliated graphite was obtained from graphite oxide using thermal exfoliation. Graphite oxide samples were synthesized using modified Hummers method. The influence of the synthesis process parameters such as heating rate, temperature, exposure time on the properties of graphite oxide were investigated. The as-received exfoliated graphite were tested as electrode for supercapacitors. The capacitance of the supercapacitors based on exfoliated graphite varied in a range of 17-129 F/g.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
