“…[4][5][6] Microstructural studies of PyG show that PyG graphite layers are stacked oen in a non-ideal ABAB stacking manner, i.e., in a disordered layer stacking in the [001] direction, and thus the general PyG graphite interlayer distance is slightly greater than the layer spacing of 3.4 Å for ideal singlecrystal graphite. 7 PyG preparation conditions, such as temperature and pressure of CVD pyrolysis, ow rates of carbon source gas and substrate selection, have a signicant impact on the microstructure and properties of PyG, thus the preparation of high-quality anisotropic pyrolytic graphite and the study of microscopic kinetic processes have always been the focus of attention. Hareesh et al 8 prepared PyG coatings by CVD method and investigated the effect of pyrolysis temperature on the microstructure, density, oxidation kinetics, and growth and nucleation modes of the deposited PyG.…”
